Angelique is having a wonderful sail! It's the Photogrophy and Naturalist cruise. Barbara Tomlinson is the naturalist on board, and she's helping with every sort of creature found as Angelique sails through Maine's wonderful waters, including osprey, eagles, porpoise, and seal pups. Neal Parent and his assistant George are busy helping photographers to get the best shots they can! They've been lucky to have all kinds of weather to photograph, including the elusive foggy mornings!
One of the most fun things to do, especially for photographers, is to go to Somes Sound, a body of water running deep into Mount Desert Island. It is often called "the only fjord on the East coast." Angelique made a stop at McGlathery Island for a luscious lobster bake! The island had a sandy beach, and it was a nice evening. Night found them in Somesville; it was a wonderful day.
Then they went to Stonington for a little shopping. Stonington was named for the granite quarries that were so famous in its history. It's a cute town and has lovely shops!
The sailing has been really good. In the narrows by Swan's Island is the Orono Island passage, a pretty spot to sail in. Usually Angeligue doesn't get a chance to sail through there, but this summer the tide and wind were right, and they got a pretty little sail from east to west right through! It was a fun time!
