The Upcoming Summer/Fall 2012 Season

If all goes according to plan we hope to return to Maine, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, and also sail to Labrador, in 2012.  If you are interested in photos of these areas check for the link to the new blog in the spring --- We will post it on this blog.

Thanks for your interest and best wishes to everyone.

Untill Next Time

This is the end of the 2011 sailing season for Evergreen and her crew.  We hope you have enjoyed the photos taken while we cruised the Nova Scotia and Maine coasts.  Hopefully, you have gained some insight into the alternative lifestyle that we enjoy.  Evergreen will now be stored "on the hard" during the winter and many maintenance and upgrade projects will be completed.  We encourage you to once again join us next season when we attempt to travel to Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, a small part of Labrador.  Have a great holiday season.

Returning Home To Roost

Tuesday, October 17th, 2011

At Great Island Boat yard (Evergreen's new winter home) the boats are lined up waiting for winter hauling:

October In Maine

A drive to Bath, Maine rewarded us with some fine fall colors:

Fall In Maine

We were finally rewarded with fine fall colors along the shore.

This light (just off Boothbay) was totally redone this summer.

Boothbay - One Last Time

Monday, October 10th, 2011

We could not resist returning to Boothbay, one last time, before the place essentially closed down for the season.  Here are some images from our last visit:

Sail Away

Sunday, October 9th, 2011

As we cross Penobscott Bay, we pass another classic vessel ghosting along while they wait for the wind to fill in.

The long day results in a beautiful sunset sail.

Penobscott Bay

Saturday, October 8th, 2011

As we sail down west Penobscott Bay, we see a lone windjammer still plying the waters.

As a special treat we decide to stop for the night as our favorite Maine anchorage, the White Islands.

One is seldom disappointed by the sunsets at the White Islands.

You say which way?  Heck, I'm going this way.

Westward Bound

Friday, October 7th, 2011

Sadly, it is time to start the long journey home.  We turn westward and head out past Bass Head Harbor Light for the last time this season.

The moon rises over Eggemoggin Reach and the Deer Isle bridge as the sun sets:

At the northwest end of Eggemoggin Reach we view the sun setting behind Pumpkin Island Light and the hills of Camden.

Mt. Desert Island

Thursday, October 6th, 2011

The Island Explorer bus service was still running so we took a trip to Bar Harbor.

After the tide went out we crossed the bar in order to explore the island across from Bar Harbor.  The 35 knot winds nearly blew us off the bar.

This lobster boat had to be dried out between tides so that the prop could be changed.

The tide is coming back in:
