| |
Q: Where will we go? |
|
| |
We pass Curtis Island lighthouse as we sail out of Camden Harbor and leave Mt. Battie astern. As we head into Penobscot Bay we sometimes head towards Mark Island. Other times we may sail up the coast towards Lincolnville. We'll share some local history, sailing lore and plenty of good fun. The winds tell us where we'll be heading, but we'll always have you back on shore in two hours.
|
|
| |
Q: What will we see? |
|
| |
We may see seals or porpoise. Keep an eye out for Ospreys, particularly as we leave and enter the harbor - they like to nest on the channel markers there. Out towards Mark Island we may see Ospreys, Bald Eagles, seals or Cormorants - also called Shags. Depending on the time of day we may see a lobster boat checking their traps and almost always other sailboats and motor vessels enjoying the bay.
|
|
| |
Q: What if it rains or is foggy? |
|
| |
We do sail depending on the weather. If the rain is heavy or the fog limits our visibility we will stay on shore. In the event that happens we will reschedule you on another sail.
