The fog comes
on little cat feet.
It sits looking
over harbor and city
on silent haunches
and then moves on.
Carl Sandburg
Fog greeted us as the Maine coast came into sight.
We've had patchy fog throughout our trip. Today's fog is one of the thickest yet. You can barely see the dock in the background less than 100 feet away.
In the background of this photo is a 100+ foot ferry boat. His fog horn is blowing, you can hear his engine but for the longest time you could not see him. The fog cleared (a little) for me to snap this pick.
Watching for lobster pots can be a challenge.
Sometimes the fog can be really beautiful.
This bridge over the Eggemoggin Reach was completely obscured by fog. By the time I grabbed the camera it was gone. It had moved on.
The S/V Freedom is an Endeavour 42 sloop rigged sailboat. But more importantly, it's our home. We're on an indefinite cruise of the east coast of North America, following the seasons.

Maine Tales
We are really enjoying our time here in Maine! So much to see, such great and friendly people, incredible seafood and we love the wildlife
The view of the harbor in Castine.
The quintessential Maine church
This wooden mast needs replacing
The Maritime Acadamy is working to replace it. Below is the 75 feet of good wood glued together.
The cutting begins
Maybe they will be finished if we pass through again on our way south?
The harbor seals are everywhere....but they don't like their pictures taken.
This is as close as I could get
This is usually how you see them...with the heads bobbing in the water.
