This week we’re sailing our Seawind 1600 catamaran from Matinicus Island south to The Basin in Casco Bay, Maine. A magical salt water lake nestled in a nature preserve that’s part of the Maine Island Trail. A 375-mile water trail connecting over 240 wild islands and mainland sites in Maine.

This week we’re sailing our Seawind 1600 catamaran from Mt. Desert Island to Matinicus, Maine's most remote island. 22 miles from Rockland, in the outer reaches of Penobscot Bay. A remote place steeped in tradition with many of the same families living there for generations.

For the past few weeks we've been sailing Maine and this week we’re enjoying boat life at its best on Mount Desert Island in protected Northeast Harbor. The quintessential Maine experience.

We have settled into sailing life in Maine on our Seawind 1600 catamaran and learned that you must live by nature’s rules out here. The tides and wind dictate everything. We are in awe of it all.

With Hurricane Henri barreling up the east coast we decided not to take any chances, nixed our plans to explore Casco Bay, and beelined it north, sailing our Seawind 1600 catamaran first to Tenants Harbor, then to a protected mooring in Vinalhaven.

We’ve been dreaming of sailing in Maine for twenty years and it is finally becoming a reality. This week we’re sailing our #Seawind1600 catamaran from Gloucester, Massachusetts to the entrance of the Saco River in Maine. And what a sail it was, the most epic sail we’ve had to date going wing on wing downwind with the spinnaker and main!
