There are a few "don't miss" ports in Maine.  Here's my list:

- Camden (just north of Rockland) beautiful little town with a big
schooner fleet.  Try to hitch a ride to the top of the Camden Hills
just outside of town.

- Boothbay Harbor - many attractions - take a day trip out to Monhegan
Island on the excursion boat, it's easier than taking your own boat.

 - Mt Desert Island - Bass Harbor, Southwest Harbor, Bar Harbor - rent
a car and take a tour of Acadia Park - go to the top of Cadillac
Mountain - cruise to the north end of Somes Sound. Take a whale
watching boat from Bar Harbor.

 - Time and weather permitting, consider cruising out east to Roque
Island for a day or two.  The scenery there is magnificent and
unspoiled in any way.
