Driving down Route 190, I quickly pulled off to the side and watched in amazement as a large group of ominous looking clouds rolled over the vast expanse of Passamaquoddy Bay. A few silvery rays of sunshine peeked through the clouds, illuminating the distant shores of Deer Island and New… SEE MORE
Reaching for Beautiful Blue Hill
On most of our visits to Blue Hill, we’ve sailed there, on the wind’s invitation. If we are sailing in the area with time on our hands, and the wind is blowing southwesterly to west, we’ll trim up our reaching sails and disappear into peaceful Blue Hill Bay. A beautiful… SEE MORE
