With hundreds of islands, inlets, bays and rivers, it's no surprise.

I would compliment your picture taking skills here, Tom, but considering the natural beauty of the Maine coastline, you really can't take a bad picture. ;)

Damn! Almost makes me want to move north:biggrin:

Here is one of my favorite anchorages. This anchorage is in the North River tributary of the Neuse River (Part of the N.C. Outer Banks).

First shot is looking West at sunset and the second is a shot of the North bank taken the next day at low tide.

My daughter Samantha and I had a wonderful sail yesterday from Sausalito down to Redwood City on Kolibri. Unfortunately the visibility was poor for the first ~half of the trip so we didn't get a view of the Golden Gate Bridge. Alcatraz was shrouded in fog and the Bay Bridge was just starting to pop out as we approached.

This morning we did a short sail out of Westpoint Harbor so my wife and dog could tag along for some time on the water.

Rafting with friends last year. Port Jefferson, Long Island NY.
Nice! My daughter just graduated from Stony Brook U. She was a member of their sailing team for 4.5 years and also raced on a J Boat. She spent a lot of time on the water in Port Jefferson and in Long Island Sound.

Anchored in Egg Harbor earlier and caught this Sabre sailing in from the sunset. We had two weeks of blazing sun and almost no wind on our summer cruise. The water in the anchorage was 80 degrees - almost unheard of for Door County.
