We&#...I agree, Dennetts is a great place for lunch.<br />We've paddled out of Seal Cove off Cape Rd on the west side of MDI a few times. It is a beautiful cove, very quiet, unlike almost every other launch on MDI. I don't think we've had any paddles there since aquiring a waterproof camera though. We usually have paddled north from the cove, along MDI to Bartlett's or the Pretty Marsh picnic area. Sometimes there are seals and porpoises to watch. Fortunately all the charts are online now, see http://www.paddlinglight.com/articles/tutorial/print-your-own-noaa-charts/ We use a laminator on them, to make them waterproof and tuck them into chart cases.PenobscotPaddleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16592313025258461946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6666730569460347191.post-90466857422962726492011-07-27T13:10:34.259-07:002011-07-27T13:10:34.259-07:00What a beautiful schooner!
Finally, we're ge...What a beautiful schooner! <br /><br />Finally, we're getting a break from the heat wave up here in Canada. <br /><br />Do you have any pics or stories of paddling in Seal Cove, Mount Dessert Island, Maine? It was one of my favourite places to visit when I was up there and I can't find any of my pic files. Plus, I only saw a tiny fraction of it while up there and would love to read and see more about it. <br /><br />Seal Cove was a bit big to wander off too far (although so tempting) without a good map, navigation skills and knowledge of the tides. The working lobster boats in the area are something to think about too. <br /><br />But I brought home a picture of the colourful lobster buoys and wake up to it every morning.<br /><br />Love your paddle pics and paddle tales of Maine. One of my favourite places to visit and always on my list to return. <br /><br />Thanks.The BaffinPaddlerhttp://baffinpaddler.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6666730569460347191.post-50233043649141374962011-07-27T02:00:23.781-07:002011-07-27T02:00:23.781-07:00Castine and Cape Rosier are two of my favorite spo...Castine and Cape Rosier are two of my favorite spots to cruise. Tying up at Dennetts for a harborside lunch works great too!penbaymanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14539195518644206210noreply@blogger.com
