Maine stands in glorious company as a fabled summer cruising ground featuring dramatic tides and currents, underwater rocks, isolated anchorages surrounded by thick green wooded hills and small seaports bustling with industries that respect traditions going back hundreds of years. It’s the Puget Sound with less rain; the Hebrides with less wind; Norway with less ice. Those joys, plus helpful southwestern prevailing winds, make Maine an Eastern Seaboard favorite.
