If you are real adventurous you could head to Great Wass Island and anchor and take a dinghy to the landing walk through blueberry bushes to the light house on the rocks and have a picnic... Then a short distance to the East sail to Roque Island where there is a mile long sand beach and an anchorage shaped in a horseshoe... Wonderful cruising in Maine... HTH

It would be a 2 hr trip so you can get a little water time without beating youself up have a leisurely dinner and get some rest. The kids can go in to the beach then depending on tide you can check out the granite works on High. Land at the beach area across from Birch and walk clockwise around to the north side. Dix is a nice liesurely walk. Next morning go through Fishermans Passage and have a nice 3-4 hr sail to Pulpit Harbor. Land at dingy dock and walk across the bridge and about 1/2 mile up there is a store with ice cream for the kids. Here you need to think about what the kids will be happy with. You could head to Camden and do the tourist trap thing. Belfast is fun but it puts you at the top of the bay. If you do Camden then back across the bay through the Fox Island Thoroughfare to Merchant, McGlatheray or Burnt. Next day Isle A Haut. Of course if you are looking for longer days then the Northeast Harbor, Somes Sound, Frenchboro,etc is doable. The prevailing wind is SW 10-15 so depending on weather you could fiddle with your route also expect fog this time of year. Another thing to do is figure which cove the windjammers are heading to for the night and you will have great photo ops if that is your thing.

We'll need to get the kids off the boat to run around. Shorter hops are best when cruising with the kids. -- Stephen Petri S/V Witchcraft, Ranger 33 No. 161 http://www.teamwitchcraft.com -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bob Johnson Sent: Monday, July 28, 2008 6:13 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Liveaboard] Maine Cruising Reccomendations I sail out of Rockland so I may be able to give you some recommendations. A lot depends on how often you want to get off the boat for dinner/shoping or weather you want a wilderness island hoping trip or both.
