I'll keep this as short and simple as possible...
We (Shizz, Dan, and I) left Mass. Friday around noon, got lost on our way to the Broad Cove Marina (near Damariscotta, ME)...got there as the sun was setting...waited for Shizz to pack up his kayak and headed out in the dark to Hungry Island...(something I do not recommend and will probably never do again when i'm unfamiliar with the area..sshhhh...this is top secret, don't tell anyone we did that...)...however, it was REALLY COOL kayaking at night with a sky full of stars!!!! we must have seen 20 shooting stars between the three of us! I can't even describe how awesome it was to be out there in the quiet at night...it was unbelievable...
The next day we hung out at the camp in the morning, had a few beers, napped in the sun, ate, hung out and then went for an early afternoon kayak, stopped by the marina for some lobster and some more beer...then kayaked around the area and back to camp to watch the sunset, had a few more beers, and then we had a nice campfire...the weather was perfect...and it was a great day...
I think we were the only people on the island that was about a mile long...but I'm not positive....I was VERY impressed with the area and how beautiful and quiet it is!
The next morning we slept in, packed our stuff up, and headed out for a few hours of kayaking and then back to the marina...it started raining while we were kayaking, which was a really cool feeling too. it was the first time i had kayaked in the rain.
anyways, after that we packed up the truck and headed home...
I strongly recommend to anyone that paddles that you join MITA and do at least an overnight somewhere along the coast, it was really awesome...
next time we plan on doing more paddling and less drinking...
the end.
Kayaking Pics
(Be forewarned...I haven't had much time to organize everything, so i just attached every pic that Dan took...its hard to take a clear photo when you are bobbing up and down in the water...AND the best day's pics were never taken because dan forgot the camara the whole day saturday when the weather was the nicest)
oh yeah...for anyone that read a previous post about "holding it"....yeah...i sucessfully "held it"....as far as shizz and dan.....
