passage from Duck Harbor the Swans Island.

Entering Burnt Coat Harbor on Swans Island.  Up to now we've been enjoying a lively sail
surfing down 4 to 6 foot seas.

"Ditto" the day before.  Making the passage from Swans Island to Southwest Harbor on
Mount Desert Island.

Sailing up Somes Sound with Allan on the helm of Blue Mist.

Stillness and peace permeate the lagoon at Devils Island. As we watch, an osprey feeds a freshly caught fish to its young in a nest atop a high spruce tree. That evening the brilliance of the stars is breathtaking.
.....
Browns Head Light on the Fox Islands Thorofare.  The wind is piping up.  From this photo you won't believe it, but Allan and Abbey have just turned back from attempting to cross West Penobscot Bay--due to thick fog!
Hall Island.  On our last night out we dine and party on the beach in this pleasant cove
before retiring to the boats.

A view from within the cabin!

Dick in Blue Mist.  This is how it's done!
