If you are going this far it is well worth the few extra hours to get to Penobscot Bay and some of the finest cruising grounds anywhere. Bob PDQ 36 Peace

We won't spend a great deal of time there, working our way south to stay ahead of the cold, but would very much appreciate suggested itineraries in that area and south... Anchor out is our specialty, as we can't afford anything else! :{)) L8R Skip Morgan 461 #2 SV Flying Pig KI4MPC See our galleries at www.justpickone.org/skip/gallery !

You are embarking on what is, arguably, the finest cruising ground in the world. Rockland is a wonderful jumping off point as the major Maine islands are just east of there. You have left out one of the most important pieces of data: how much time do you have? Also, do you want to anchor out or make a civilized port every few days? Both are very possible and enjoyable. What will you be sailing? I have cruised Maine for 35 years, and still do. If you give me an idea of your timeline, I will suggest an itinerary for a first-time Maine cruise. I will be spending the month of September cruising the Maine coast, so maybe I'll see you there. Alan Lewis "Victoria" Gulfstar 41 #160 Lying Kittery, ME K1ALL
