Absolutely right. That's our old cruising ground and we still get
back there once in a while. The area of Maine in the vicinity of Mt
Desert Island and Acadia Nataiona Park is arguably the most scenic
part of the entire US east coast. The lobster trap and fog issues
are very real, but surmountable with a little practice and experience.
