Island Hopping

First, a note....to the question about the Reed Ideal.
I couldn't answer it, because there was no email address available.
So email me with your questions at ragrugs@crazyasaloom.com
And I will be happy to help if I can.

Now.......I took a LOT of pictures. It is hard to even decide which ones to post.
This is the boat ride, guys.
We took an hour boatride to Monhegan Island, which lies 10-12 miles off the coast. We left Port Clyde at 10am.

It was a stunning day on the water, and the lobster boats were out.

Every view was a picture. I couldn't even help myself.

I can see myself right about January, going through all these albums, longing for summer in Maine.

This shot makes me want to stay on Monhegan Island for a while.
Just to think, to ponder, to listen to the ocean hit the rocks.

I wonder what it would be like to live there for the summer.
Maybe just to imagine it, would be better than nothing at all.

  1. I'd give an arm or a leg to live somewhere closer to water. Hubby and I were just talking about it a couple of days ago and I told him I would love to retire somewhere closer to water. He wondered if I meant a lake or the ocean. Hands down it would be the ocean.

  2. Thanks for taking us along to Monhegan, a place I've never visited. The shot of that hotel really struck a chord with me, it looks to be a place I long to visit. What a lovely trip you had. I already know I'm not cut out for island living, unless it's accessible by a bridge year round, but now the summer, that's a different story! ~Lili

  5. Oh, thank you for the lovely tour of Maine. It IS such a magical place.
    Love the boat pics. I bet the kids could have counted dozens of lobster trap bouys(sp) along the ride!

    BTW, it's not just the summers that are so great -- winter is terrific as well.
