but I do know these are challenging times for Cameron and his team. He’s been preparing for this moment for 8 years. He’s been methodical, thinking through all the pieces, running tests, developing tools and materials to help him dive to the bottom of the trench. Now everything is ready and in place for the [...]

Remembering Summer (in Maine)
Posted in Adventure, Aquatics, Nomadics, tagged Adventure, Camden, Camping, Converted Cargo Trailer, Maine, Solar, Summer on March 15, 2012 | Leave a Comment »
This is my favorite campground. I practically lived here in August, writing my thesis by the power of the sun inside my little abode in this converted cargo trailer. This is the Camden Hills Campground in Camden, Maine. A wonderful place to camp, and an amazing harbor to sail around. This was heaven for a [...]

Little did I know, this would be the last time my boat would see East coast waters. This “short film” is a conglomeration of footage I shot while exploring part of the Maine Island Trail. In this trip, Mic and I sailed all the way around Vinalhaven in Penobscot Bay (trip report here). The video [...]
Thank you Zoot!

This is where my thesis draft came to fruition. It wouldn’t have happened, either, if it weren’t for the delicious “single soy lattes with an extra shot” often brewed by Ian Brooks – one killer barista. And get this – we share the one and only Mr. Jeff Ibbotson as a math teacher! Small world. [...]
Mike and his Bike

This guy is on one cool adventure. We met just after he got a flat and was forced to camp in Camden. His trip began in Gloucester, Massachusetts, and will end in Bar Harbor, Maine. He is only spending $100 and is completely self-sufficient on his bike (having packed a tent, cookware, and food). Mike [...]
Vinalhaven Circuit – Trip Report (17 photos)

Mic and I were blessed with agreeable weather last week, allowing for a successful passage around the Fox Islands in Penobscot Bay, Maine. We made use of the Maine Island Trail for a few nights of camping along the way as we circumnavigated Vinalhaven. The trip was mostly uneventful although the crossing back to the [...]

Shot this seagull as I was sailing by a lobster boat. There were a few birds following the boat as they brought traps up. This one happened to be in the right spot at the right time. Click the image for higher resolution.

Goodbye islands. A successful circumnavigation of Vinalhaven was made. Yesterday required a scary crossing back from Ram Island. The wind was great so the trip was fast, but the visibility was quite poor. I’ve never sailed in such dense fog. At times I could only see maybe a hundred feet ahead. Just for safety’s sake [...]
Maine

It’s quickly becoming one of my favorite places in the world. Granted, I haven’t spent a winter here, but the summers are just awesome. While New Jersey is hot and humid and sticky and just plain nasty (in my opinion)… Maine is lovely. One of the best things to me is the boating culture here. [...]
Adventures on my mind

If you look at any map of North America published after the 60′s, you’ll see a fascinating annular lake directly North of Maine. This is the Manicouagan Reservoir, or the “Eye of Quebec.” It’s a big crater formed about 200 million years ago during an event causing a fire ball that extended to New York. [...]
