Maine in the fall is intoxicating. Yes, there's work to do squirrelling away for the upcoming cold, but I find it impossible not to fill my lungs all the way with the delicious air. For me at the moment, it's just inland lake sailing on the Hobie 16, but sailing is sailing, be it on a Sunfish or big cruiser.
It's nice to see the Mainer's posting agreeing responses here, plus more in New England. For whatever reason, this area isn't packed with people trying to take it all in, but maybe the masses are just sitting in front of their televisions (or computers? Oops!).
