• Planning my Maine cruise...
  • Well...
    • OK, those legs are around 50 - 60 miles...
      • Isle au Haut
  • By the way...some history I didn't recall about Maine
  • I'd say spend more time sailing in Penobscot Bay.
    • I agree,
    • We don't run the engine unless we have to...
      • Blue Hill Bay is nice....
      • The places in Penobscott (including Vinalhaven) are pretty neat.
      • That's a tough decision for me.
  • We would rather spend time further downeast
    • I neglected to mention
    • I agree
      • Peter, you continuing on NE or hanging around Maine?
        • Trying to head east...
    • Yeah, I love that area as well...
      • Mistake Harbor
  • places to see MDI/Pen Bay
  • As others have said, I would skip Bar Harbor...
    • To be honest, the only reason to anchor at Bar Harbor is to check it off the list...
  • Northern end of Penobscot bay....
    • Searsport
  • Great suggestions keep them coming!
    • Not really on a "tight schedule". Remember, I'm the one that 'did' Newfoundland in 2 weeks....

    • That's ok Jerry, Rockport is an acquired taste.
      • I usually go to NE Harbor
        • On the southern exposure, I have to agree. But those are decent tans for Maine girls Jerry.
