Most of our Maine harbors have gone into hibernation for the year, with docks pulled and shrinkwrap applied. And yet even as we’re tucking in for a long winter’s nap, every so often a sail or two will appear on the horizon and remind us that a few hardy souls are squeezing every hour they can out of the sailing season.
Here are a few shots from Camden Harbor, where the docks at Wayfarer Marine were still quite lively recently as a blend of classic and modern yachts performed a few final tasks. Even this morning, I spied a handful of holdouts, boaters who seemingly are playing a game of chicken with each other and Old Man Winter. Are there any boats left in the water in your favorite harbor?
