Come to Maine to sail (long)
"Capt. JG" wrote in message ... "Ansley W. Sawyer" wrote in message ... 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. Ansley Sawyer SV Pacem Nice post... on my list of places to sail... these days, we're stictly Left Coast sailors or some place warm in the winter. -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com 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. SilverK |
