Summer 2009 - Sno' Dog heads to Maine
Nowhere else in the world looks like this! It's got to be MAINE! This shot was taken in Cape Porpoise Harbor
on the first day of our Summer 2009 Maine Cruise. We pulled in here for a brief respite from the fog that
followed us from Portsmouth, NH to Portland, ME. It was no sweat, however with radar and our trusty GPS.

Portland Head Light was a welcome sight as it loomed

Entering the tiny harbor on Damariscove Island
Pemaquid Point Lighthouse - very pretty without the fog!
| Finally, good Internet access here! There's hardly even a cell phone signal along most of the coast from Portland to Rockland. Verizon, which works pretty well from NH to FL, seems particularly weak here in Maine. |

Painted rock on Sprucehead Island - Dah-Dit = "N"
Not sure the significance, perhaps it's a target?
