John McPhee reports (to paraphrase): When the colonists’ ships arrived at these shores, they launched rowboats and began rowing to shore. Quickly the Native Americans were paddling their canoes in circles around them. For not only were their bark canoes faster than the rowboats, the locals “could see where they were going.”
Excellent capture of skiff 2425, your shot told the story of past youth and the present in a man and his stance, thank you for the story picture. Your works are always appreciated. Move over Farmer John...
I am horrified and saddened to learn that the wonderful Port Clyde General store was completely destroyed by fire last week. The restaurant next door the Dip Net, and part of the Monhegan Ferry buildings were also destroyed. What a loss to that community.

ReplyDeleteGood photos
ReplyDeleteI prefer rowing backwards in from the mooring also. I can see who's on the dock to help with the unloading while talking trash to! ;)
