Live from our new friends Dana’s and Tova’s house where we had a delicious dinner of scallops. A very foggy evening so the image is blurry, but the sound is fine. I play Two Shores, Old Man and the Sea, The Liberty Bell, After You’ve Gone, discuss my fiddle lessons with Chet Atkins, and more.
I believe Jonesport is the friendliest place I have ever been. At one time this port had three sardine plants and other businesses that have largely gone away. It does have better internet than elsewhere in these parts, so we returned, again in heavy fog, in order for me to broadcast my Monday Live from […]
A photo of outside this morning would be a white screen, as the fog obscured even the closest island. The little ducks, loons and geese seemed to be happy in this environment, and it was sometimes hard to distinguish them from the lobster pots scattered about. We saw many as we went a short ways […]
We have explored coves on different sides of Roque island, all lovely and very few people anywhere. While in shore, a young hiker came by. She told us that she was almost back home after hiking 21 miles around the circumference of the island. She is a member of the original family who settled on […]
We tooled around for a while looking for a place to anchor with good cell phone signal so I could sign onto Zoom to teach my guitar class. Then found a place on Roque Island with a nice beach where Bryan could paint another stripe on the dinghy while I went for a jog. Watched […]
8/15 We returned to the mile-long crescent beach at Roque. Bryan repainted the dinghy on the beach as I went for a run along the entire length of the beach and a few short swims in the 53 degree water. We brought a black plastic bag with water heated by the sun for a shower and […]
8/14 Our morning wake up call, as usual, was a lobster boat collecting traps. I flagged him down and asked if I could buy two lobsters from him. I passed a bucket over with a boat hook, he dropped two lobsters in and said “no charge.” I was astonished, and passed over a couple […]
In the morning we rowed to the dock and walked to the nearest gas station/general store where they served breakfast. We sat next to a father and son who were also sailors. The son was a music teacher in China. Very interesting to learn about how people maneuver the strict lack of free speech there, […]
You’re welcome to share some moments at the Sweet Chariot Music Fest, as we’ll be sailing northeast towards Roque, Maine.
We zigzagged our way past rocks and lobster pots to Jonesport. As we pulled into port we were greeted by a white-haired mustached man in a rowboat who implored us to join the local sailboat race in the morning, since their sailing club had only a few aging members. We asked if there was a […]
