Yep, you’re right I’m going to take a wild guess and say this may be Lunt Harbor in Frenchboro, which is on Long Island, in Maine. If it is, it’s a nice place to grab a lobster and head for Northeast or Southwest Harbor, or from which to head toRead More

Spent many a night there Not sure, but I believe this is Marblehead Harbor looking north from the inner harbor toward Baker Island and the lighthouse on Marblehead Neck.

A fortuitous engine problem I first sailed into New Harbor, on Block Island, R.I., many years ago with a group of friends and a very attractive blonde. An engine problem kept us there for a few days and the blonde and I got quite chummy. One thing led to another,Read More
