Hi Jim, I'm an hour and half north of Boston in southern ME. You're welcome to come see Hunky Dory. If the timing is right we could take it for a ride out of Wells ME. Rick from ME.

Hi Pat, Fastest way to the tip of ME is to get to rte 95 north of Boston, and zip up 95. Then you can take the scenic route down Rte 1 to the Keys. But, Rte 1 is no longer very scenic in much of ME so take the parallel scenic rtes (like rte 1A) whenever possible. Usually the fastest way to...

The cruise you're planning is written up in the book "The Voyage of the Yankee Lady" by Judith Silva. Interesting read with insight on what to expect.

Thanks for your input John & Boris, Widget checked the COVID rules and we're from an acceptable area of ME, so no quarantine needed so far. I'll take my Danforth backup. But, it's good to hear that over 10' deep eliminates the weed issue. It is frustrating that ya gotta get pricey...

thanks John, Your info is very helpful. I didn't know about the waterway guides, or that the state park closes by 9/30. I've cruised the southern half on Columbus Day weekend 15 yrs ago. Froze my butt off. I'll have better heat this time. The foliage should be good. Your anchor info is...

Widget and Hunky Dory are planning to cruise Lake Champlain around Columbus Day this October. We haven’t found much cruise info, only Richardson’s chartbook. Do any C-brats have recommendations on where to cruise, anchorages, must sees or other info? We're planning to launch at the Mallets...

Hey Steve, are you showing off that you can get up before 5 AM? I thought I did good staying awake til 9:45 PM.

If you're anchored out in dark areas, look for comet Neowise. It's a treat. Last night (7/17/20) I saw comet Neowise. It's the best naked eye comet since Hale Bopp. At 9:45 PM it was directly below the Big dipper pointer stars, close to the horizon. I was outside getting dark adapted for...

A friend with a 16' has cruised much of the Maine coast, Erie and Rideau canals with us. It handles terrific and has been seaworthy in seas. It seems very safe, versatile and capable. If you're looking to easily get on the water with some protection from the sun or rain, it is a great choice...

Two hunters were walking in the woods. Suddenly one yelled: “Stop”. The other hunter was about to fall into hole. It was a perfectly round hole about 6 feet across and was a smooth cylinder down to a black abyss. They couldn’t see the bottom. Puzzled by this strange hole they wondered how...

A Scottish couple had been married 25 years when the wife suddenly died. As the pallbearers carried her casket into the church, the casket bumped a corner of the church and jostled the casket. There was a rustling sound and then a voice from inside the casket. It was immediately opened and...

"Into the Raging Sea" by Rachel Slade is a riveting account of the El Faro sinking. The author has included the conversations on the bridge from the 26 hrs before the sinking as well as many interviews. The number of factors involved in the Captain's course decision is mind boggling. The...
