Windjammer Days is a biggie around here. So when the morning broke with serious rain, it was not welcomed with anything but a feeling of 'oh crap'. Except, it got better. By the time we were ready to go out on the photo tour boat, it was not raining but foggy. Ghost-like fabulous, really.
There were windjammers and lobster boats and islands coming out of the fog as our awesome captain brought us gently around each boat, each island, with a steady, not boring background of history and salient points of interest. It was...an extraordinary ride. Even with the competing photogs - there you would be with the perfect photo and suddenly an arm would extend right into your viewfinder. But all in all, that was a rare thing and with such a great captain, we all had a chance to get great shots. Which really, was the problem. I have well over 500 shots to go through and I want to post 300 of them. But I can't and won't, don't worry!
No engines in many of the windjammers...a push is needed
Our Captain, Bill - Thanks so much!
At dusk, there were fireworks, lots and lots of fireworks. Here are a couple of them. It was aahh and oohh time...and I did.
All in all, another great day and night in Maine!
