[/caption]There is no need to be overly concerned about the threat of skin cancer today. It has been raining continuously for sixteen hours. Today is our first total rainout in 66 days of cruising. We have no grounds to complain about the weather. In general, the temperatures have been delightful and we have been blessed with an abundance of sunny days.

[/caption]We take advantage of this break in the action to catch up on correspondence, boat chores, balancing the checkbook and paying bills. We pause to reflect on the places we have visited, the people we have met, the stunning scenery that has inspired us, the lessons we've learned and the liveaboard lifestyle in general. The past three weeks, in particular, have confirmed the accuracy of the State slogan "Maine...the way life should be".
Our time of relaxed daysails and shoreside adventures in Downeast Maine is sadly coming to an end. We have one more week to cruise Penobscot Bay and the Mount Desert area before commencing our return to the Chesapeake Bay. In the time that remains, we will visit some familiar places, sail the prevailing wind and experience as much of this special place as humanly possible.
