\"Penobscot<\/p>\n

It is a lazy Sunday morning in Maine and having finished our coffees, caught up with a bit of news online, and launched both dinghies for exploration and exercise later on, we thought we’d upload a few photos.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"Penobscot<\/p>\n

We’ve been back in Camden for a few days, taking care of chores, and getting ready for guests. The outer anchorage has been busy with mega yachts, and the comings and goings of the commercial sail.<\/p>\n

\"Penobscot<\/p>\n

We have had very little fog this season so there hasn’t been much chance to dial in the photo technique. But Thursday there was a touch, enough for a few “romantic” \u00a0photos (although there is nothing remotely romantic about piloting in fog).<\/p>\n

\"Penobscot<\/p>\n

We wonder if the tourists are dressed warmly? It is a sunny afternoon ashore.<\/p>\n

\"Penobscot<\/p>\n

The trend toward tall rigs is in evidence here. That main mast must be close to 200 feet\/60m, fun in a stiff breeze.<\/p>\n

\"Penobscot<\/p>\n

We moved the boat onto the town dock to fill the water tanks. The area around the dock is congested, very, very, tight. As a safety measure we have Chris Martin driving the dinghy, in case a shove is required. It isn’t.<\/p>\n

\"Penobscot<\/p>\n

It is always fun to see the mega yachts sailing, occasionally right into the outer harbor..<\/p>\n

\"Penobscot<\/p>\n

There is a large population of ospreys in the area, and they tend to fly just out of reach of our big lens.<\/p>\n

\"Penobscot<\/p>\n

But on occasion we get lucky.<\/p>\n

\"Penobscot<\/p>\n

We love being close to birds of prey, but they have their drawbacks, and can be expensive visitors.<\/p>\n

\"Penobscot<\/p>\n

We generally dislike stink-pots, but admit to a soft spot for the old timers.<\/p>\n

\"Penobscot<\/p>\n

Over at Castine the traditionalists are out for their weekend sail.<\/p>\n

\"Penobscot<\/p>\n

Even at dusk (a great time of day for slipping the hook and going for a little cruise).<\/p>\n

\"Penobscot<\/p>\n

The sunset is spectacular.<\/p>\n

\"Penobscot<\/p>\n

Followed by a traditional Maine dinner.<\/p>\n

\"Penobscot<\/p>\n

And then there’s a lovely moon to set the tone for the rest of the weekend.<\/p>\n
