The Bowdoin Trip


It's nice to have all of my kids back under the same roof and safely on dry land again after 2 of them were off sailing the Arctic Schooner, the Bowdoin this week.  They had a fabulous time and the kind of summer weather that we live in Maine for.   And since they were joined on the trip by a couple of reporters who interviewed and videoed the experience, I'll let the professionals tell the story.  If you click on the video, you'll hear the Sea Scout band with Zac on the tin whistle, and Rachel joining the voices.

One last photo -- the Nathaniel Bowditch, one of the many schooners and tall ships they met on the sea, and named for one of our heroes.

Thanks to Wayne Chesley for the beautiful photographs!

  2. Try clicking on the photo at the top of the article that I linked to. That should work. (This link will probably expire at some point.) Hope you get it this time!

  4. What a wonderful opportunity for Zac and Rachel. I can not believe our kids are so old. Both Sydni and CJ are driving and in college. Love your farmhouse. Would still love to come visit some fall, it looks so beautiful there.
    We miss you guys!
