Go with the Wind(jammers) to see Maine's coast

Each summer, thousands of people step aboard a Maine schooner not knowing where the wind will take them for the next two hours or several days. Close-up views of lighthouses and lobstermen at work, and sightings of seals, osprey and bald eagles are standard wherever the windjammer goes.

A day sail or multi-day vacation on a passenger schooner is a unique way to see and learn about the Maine coast. Set off from one of these harbors.

South Coast - Portland Schooner Company offers two-hour day sails through the islands of Casco Bay and overnight trips on the schooners Bagheera and Wendameen. In Kennebunkport, the Schooner Eleanor sails between Cape Arundel and Cape Porpoise with views of sand beaches and grand oceanfront homes.

Mid-Coast - This region of Maine is home to North America's largest fleet of traditional sailing schooners. Fourteen passenger vessels - many recognized as National Historic Landmarks - based in Camden, Rockland and Rockport offer all-inclusive sailing vacations, with an island lobster bake and shore excursions, lasting up to six days. Two to three-hour day sails are also offered from the three ports, and from Boothbay Harbor.

Down East - Bar Harbor is a destination for day sails on Frenchman Bay aboard the modern, steel hulled schooner Margaret Todd. And in Eastport, the former Chesapeake Bay oyster schooner Ada C. Lore offers the only sail powered whale watching cruise in Maine on Passamaquoddy Bay.

Photogenic Fields of Wildflowers

See landscapes of iconic lupines and other wildflowers in these destinations:
    Several fields in the Aroostook County town of Stockholm burst with white, pink and purple wild lupines and daisies. Follow roads off Route 161.

    The island of Deer Isle has a festival to celebrate its lupine landscapes and other wildflowers that can be viewed along and off of Route 15.

    The 21-mile Grafton Notch Scenic Byway welcomes travelers with fields of wild daisies, lupines and fireweed. The byway traverses Route 26 from Newry to Upton.

      Scenic Ogunquit: 4 Ways to Savor Maine’s Savviest Getaway

      1. The Cliff House Resort & Spa is celebrating its 140th anniversary by holding package prices at 2011 levels. Consider it a tribute to the Yankee thrift of founder Elsie Jane Weare, who opened the Cliff House in 1872. The Resort is also offering a $99 Spa Sampler in its world-class spa. Offered Thursday and Sunday evenings by appointment, the Sampler includes three head-to-toe 15-minute mini treatments, plate of chef’s hors d’oeuvres and glass of Chardonnay. 

      2. Another Ogunquit institution, Harbor Candy, is celebrating the Cliff House 140th with a special gift box for returning guests. The shop, which has been supplying the Cliff House with fine chocolates for two decades, offers savvy chocolate lovers everything from high-quality childhood classics like nonpareils and peanut butter cups, to unusual specialties like vegan chocolate and tea-infused truffles.

      3. Finestkind Scenic Cruises, an Ogunquit favorite since 1956, is helping Cliff House guests celebrate with fun lobster cruises. The cruises are part of the Resort’s two-night Lobster Cruise Package, offered June through mid-October. Finestkind’s 50-minute lobster tours leave from Oqunquit’s scenic Perkins Cove and hug the coastline, while the captain hauls traps and offers an up-close look at his catch. Finestkind’s Amy Hubbard says the cruises are a great way to do something different without “breaking the bank.” Plus the cruises are perfectly timed for kids and their lively attention spans. 

      4. The Oqunquit Playhouse, America’s foremost summer theatre, is also celebrating an anniversary in 2012 – its 80th. The Playhouse has hosted names like Steve McQueen and Tallulah Bankhead, and is kicking off its new season with Always: Patsy Kline featuring Playhouse veteran Sally Struthers of Archie Bunker fame.
