I want to assure you of the friendly and benign nature of the coast of
Maine and encourage you to come up and sail with us. In few areas of the
nautical world is the combination of conditions as conducive to
relaxation and carefree cruising as the coast of Maine. Just watch out
for the teacher.

I have sailed the Coast of Maine many times and experienced near 15 knots
of speed being flushed through Western Passage around "The Old Sow" .
The nice thing about Maine is the lobster that you can sometimes buy
directly from the fishing boats and have boiling in sea water before you
even set your hook. By the way, you do need a considerable amount of line
to set a hook in Maine. If you consider that the water will get up to 24'
deeper while anchored. Yuou also have to really consider what you will
swing into at low tide. I have also sailed the Sea of Cortez recently and
find all that sunshine hard to take. Give me fog anyday.

I wish we experienced lots of sunshine in Baja last time we were there.. it
was relatively cold and not much sun, although the wind was great!
