My fraternity brother, Darien Wood and his wife, Ela, joined us for a great trip in the middle section of Maine. We visited Burnt Coat Harbor on Swan's Island, Bunker's Harbor on the Downeast side of Schoodic Head, and Valley Cove in Somes Sound. We had serious fog for the trip to and from Bunker's. Fortunately, there was some adventure in sailing in nearly zero visibility conditions to compensate for the loss of the spectacular views of Schoodic Head and the southern end of Mt. Desert Island. Darien and Ela were kind of enough to make an attempt to explain some of the high energy physics research they are involved in. It was fascinating even to scratch the surface with them on this topic.
On the way to the top of Mt. Acadia.
We were sailing in zero visibility, but the uv rays from the sun could still get through, so a thorough dousing of sun-tan oil was important. |
