It is hard to believe, but I learned of blogging a mere two weeks ago. My friend suggested that I write a blog about our sewing adventures with my two stores: Sewing by the Sea in Trenton, Maine and Sew Portland in Portland, Maine. I was intrigued enough to go home and check out blogs that evening. After reading a few, I realized "OMG! I can do this!"
The next step was to choose a company to host the blog. I searched around, and selected typepad.com when I found that summer neighbor and fellow sewer, Martha Stewart, used them. I checked out Martha's blog today and found that she, like I, had a boating adventure in the waters off Mount Desert Island on Memorial Weekend. This could be my first topic! While Martha was prepared enough to have her camera on board (or camera crew), I was not .. oh to have "people".. wouldn't it be wonderful! Alas, no photos for my first blog!
Here goes......
My Captain, husband Gary and I took the dog (not-my-dog-Rover) out in our picnic boat (a 12 foot aluminum two seater) for a little spin up the Jordan River (a salt water river). We putted across the river to deliver a cold beverage to Captain Steve who was rearranging the rocks on his shore. The Captains discussed the work and the upcoming lobster-trapping potential before we motored on to check out the eagle's nest on the point. Papa eagle was standing guard on a high branch ..no mama or babes were visible. It was a gorgeous May Day in Maine and the tide was running softy against the boat. Not-my-dog was content to stand lookout in the bow while we cruised around the river before heading back to our dock where the mosquitoes greeted us. A true sign that summer is indeed coming!
Okay, not a exciting as having the cute Coasties boarding your boat, but my Captain was once a cute Coastie! Does that count?
