THINK BOATS

==========================

Good advice.

Here's a picture of ours taken several years ago in Roque Island,
Maine, not far from the Canadian border:

Beautiful.

Thanks John, don't know if you are referring to the scenery or the
boat but the two certainly go well together. :-)

BOTH!

Have you ever been to Acadia National Park on Mt Desert Island? It is
one of our favorites and there is a lot of scenery similar to the
picture in and around the park. Old man Rockefeller had his summer
place near there and he could afford to go anywhere he wanted.

Took a motorcycle ride up to Acadia National Park, and a couple years ago my wife and I went up with
the trailer. We loved the area, the weather was great. and the view from the top of Cadillac
Mountain was spectacular. We spent one day 'whale watching' from a boat out of 'Bah Hahbah' and saw
bunches of whales and puffins. We found a little restaurant down on a pier in one of the little
coast towns (not Bar Harbor) where I had a four pound lobster. Wow!

I had asked a young ranger at the park where to find a good place for lobster. He said he couldn't
answer the question - against the rules. I asked if he had a girlfriend. "Yes," he answered. I
asked, "If you were going to take her out for lobster, where would you take her?"

"Now *that* I can answer," said he. Then he told us about this little shack on a pier in some little
town close by. What a meal.

The whole time I was there I wished for one thing - my boat!
