The Great Races

This is the oldest day-sailing Windjammer Schooner.

At 91 years old she is harbored in Camden Maine.

She is also on the Historic Registry!!!

For me.....

I have been drawn to sailing and riding all my life.

Horses & Great Sailing Ships

have always taken my breath away.

Here in Maine there is much of both!

I look forward to attending horse shows here.

Maybe I will give 'UP & DOWN' horse back riding lessons 

for the timid

and the emotionally challenged.

I could do that!!

I plan on sailing as well,

and getting a small sailing dinghy like the one below.

That is what I learned on when I was 8 years old.

It's not fancy but it will take me to where I want to go.

Away

and alone with nothing but the sound of wind and the sea lapping against the boat.

I could even sail to one of the thousands of tiny islands around the coast of Maine.

Every week there is another sailing race for the 2 & 3 masted schooners.

I am still 'DOWN EAST' { in Maine }

it is paradise with it's mountains, meadows, rivers, lakes and of course the magnificent ocean.

Below there is a video to watch if you are interested.

It will show you how crazy crowded it gets when there is a sailing event here.

Normally....

it is not that maddening here.

You can watch this video taken in Boothbay Harbor

I send all my blogging buddies my love.

It has been a journey up here with my MOM.

But she is starting to recover.
