Lighthouse Cruise

Angelique had a wonderful lighthouse 4-day cruise last week! We had great weather for sailing and saw plenty of lighthouses! AND we ate all the lobster, which is saying a lot ... first time this season! Have to get more next trip! Here are some of the lighthouses we saw on the trip:







Curtis Island
At the entrance to Angelique's home, Camden harbor.





Rockland Harbor Light
Perched at the end of a half-mile breakwater made of big granite slabs, this light may look like it's floating on water!





Dice Head Light
We also stopped in Castine where folks walked to Dice Head Light get a closer look.





Mark Island Light
Built in 1858, it stands in Deer Island Thorofare, near Stonington.





Eagle Island Light
West of Deer Isle, this light was commissioned in 1838.





Pumpkin Island Light
In Eggemoggin Reach





Goose Rocks Light
"The Spark Plug" is located at the eastern entrance of the Fox Islands Thorofare.





Brown's Head Light
Located at the northwestern end of Vinalhaven Island, this light was established in 1832.





Owl's Head Light
At the entrance to Rockland Harbor, this station was established in 1825.





Indian Island Light
Built on Indian Island, just off the tip of Beauchamp Point in Rockport



The guests on this cruise were wonderful as usual! Everyone had a great time :)
