Maine again...

Took another trip to Maine this past weekend. Weather wasn't quite as nice as the last time, but still pretty nice. Also, on the way there, stopped by Oakland to pick up the last of my stuff from Kristen's mom's house. Got to meet Kristen's new puppy "Pandora" and check out her new car. She's doing quite well.
Anywho, paddling was fun, here's some pictures and a video.

Back side of the Presidentials (White Mountains, NH) from Rt. 2 near Gorham.

Somewhere between Bethel and Paris, Maine. A classic "roche moutonnee". Glacier moved left to right.

Obligatory sunset picture, from Townsend Gut.

Another one, from sort of across from the Ocean Gate Inn, Townsend Gut.

Bunch of islands. Left to Right: Indiantown, Green, Boston, The Spectacles (both of them), Isle of Springs.

Bow shot.

Investigating a cove on the west side of Indiantown.

Cool tree on the Back River.

Cool vids. Enjoy your website immensely.
We ad a good weekend took the North Cascades over to Blaine. First day the pass was open this year, totally awesome. Actually saw a Black Bear at Black Bear Camp.
Worked on the boat, had to clean out and rebuild the fuel filters, horrible dieseley job, sediment bowls were really plugged up with muck. Spent 11/2 days on 3 filters. Started the engine up and oddly it ran. We are slowly coming to understand the boat. I must say that the previous owner was a total zip tie freak.
Reading a really awesome Joe Upton book about the BC coast and SE Alaska. Visits many of the same places we did about 30 yrs ago. (1979).
I highly recommend also reading the Curve of Time by Mary Blanchet.
Later the old man

I think I've actually read The Curve of Time. Read it when I was pretty young. It's about a lady sailing around the Pacific NW right? I think I wanted to read it just because she stopped by Lasqueti at some point...
I'm back to being restless and wanting to get the hell out of here again. Having trouble getting to sleep. It's 2:15am but there's too much going through my head...
