Angelique had a great 6-night sailing adventure last week! It was a
Road Scholar trip, and they had a naturalist, Barbara Tomlinson, and maritime historian, Bud Warren aboard. The saw lots of wildlife, including eagles, ospreys, loons, and baby seals, and they saw the first harbor porpoises of the year. That was fun! Barbara is also a remarkable falconer, and she showed her red tailed hawk at the end of the trip. Bud regaled the passengers with history about the local fishing industry, and tales of early settlers in the Castine area, as well the Penobscot Expedition and shipbuilding. In addition, there was a sail training component, so everyone was very busy!
It was a nice trip, with good breezes. There were two days of really great sailing, and the rest of the trip was spent ghosting along. Sarah made a yummy pork tenderloin that was excellent, with just the right combination of garlic and herbs, and she made a very special sauteed carrot dish which may soon be shared on the blog! The whole crew is working hard and doing a good job. And next week's Photography and Naturalist cruise promises to be very fun as well!
