We had a good end to the Swans Island cruise. We were sailing offshore between Great Spoon Island and Little Spoon Island, near Isle Au Haut, when we were treated to the sight of five or six Minke Whales. It was totally unexpected. Then the next night we had a lobster bake on Wreck Island, and the lobsters were mighty yummy!
Following the Swans Island cruise, we had a 3-day sail featuring the Perseid meteor shower. What a sight! The cruise was good, the days were beautiful, and folks had a good time. Angelique took the opportunity to pack a lot into the three days. We sailed to Buck’s Harbor, then to Pond Island off Cape Rosier where we had our lobster bake, and we ended up in Gilkey Harbor to round it out. The meteor showers were fantastic; if you got up when the moon set about 2 a.m., it was even better.
Now Angelique goes out on another 3-night getaway, a Full-Moon cruise -- there’s nothing like the full moon on Penobscot Bay. It’s lovely! No annoying light pollution, no noise or TV or anything but a loon’s cry ... it’s the best way to see the full moon!
