We were passed by this sailboat. It still looks breathtaking and even scary.
Seen from a cruise aboard the historic schooner Louis R. French last summer.
For more schooner sailing experiences, take a look at my Under Sail photo album at Thistle Finch editions.
Here I am at the keyboard while overlooking Lubec Channel from a rented cabin at West Quoddy Station, a former U.S. Coast Guard lifesaving post.

As seen from a cruise aboard the historic schooner Louis R. French on Penobscot Bay last summer.


This site in Eastport is where several historic child-labor photos were taken. These days it’s a popular place for deer.
The legs of the former American Can Company factory on the Eastport waterfront are revealed at low tide if you’re out on the water. To see what’s behind them, go to my photo album, Can Factory Caverns, at
It’s a striking breed, seldom seen outside Scotland.
