It would be pretty amazing to live in a place only accessible by boat. No ferry, either?<br /><br />I've never had a popover and now I know that I must, sometime, somewhere, have a popover.Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00308357669144600161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-51050906683291467652013-08-10T10:31:20.834-04:002013-08-10T10:31:20.834-04:00I can taste that popover melting in my mouth.

You two certainly get to know an area while you are there. That's the way we like to travel as well (although not quite like we're doing here in Florida right now). <br /><br />Acadia certainly has a lot to offer and I could see spending an entire summer there.<br /><br />I hope you get back to finish exploring Little Cranberry Island. <br /><br />I need to Google fjord. Never seen one, and not really sure what they are. :)Karen and Alhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15284661066870109259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-17067887208173181322013-08-10T08:26:01.848-04:002013-08-10T08:26:01.848-04:00Our family just returned from Acadia a few weeks a...Our family just returned from Acadia a few weeks ago, and I must say, your blog presents so much more then we could have imagined to see. Then I decided that maybe it is in the eye of the viewer. Thanks for making me decide that next trip to anywhere I need to SLOW down and appreciate all that is around me. I think you may have also inspired me to consider Kayaking. Enjoying your blog immensely. Thanks.

The red bell...So many islands, so little time! :c(<br /><br />The red bell buoy has a red light on it and each one has different flashing patterns so they can be easily distinguished from one another at night. The buoy number and flashing patterns are shown on nautical charts. Too bad your boat's motor was so loud, you usually can hear the bell clearly. The green buoys are also numbered and have a green light with a distinct flashing pattern and have gongs on them so they make a different sound, easily recognizable from the bell sound on the red buoys. <br /><br />Red buoys mark one side of a channel and green buoys mark the other side. You can tell which way you are traveling by the little ditty: "Red-Right-Returning", so if the red buoys are on your right you are coming into the channel, if on the left, you're going out. <br /><br />The reason the buoys have bells and gongs is to help mariners tell where the buoys are in fog conditions, not that fog happens very often in Maine... ;c)<br /><br />Now I think I need to take a popover break!Paul and Marti Dahlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17332654035718777839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-938525716947766872013-08-10T02:40:00.976-04:002013-08-10T02:40:00.976-04:0040 mins is a rip off, especially with a scripted R...40 mins is a rip off, especially with a scripted Ranger.
