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.
