We have had some amazingly warm October weather which is about to come to an end. When you move to Maine and work with me to find your dream home, you will be amazed how wonderful it is to sail here in September and October. My boat which is featured here in the photo is scheduled to be hauled out of the water any day now. The forecast for the next few days is for the thermometer to head south to more seasonal temperatures.

This adventure into becoming a reporter for the South Freeport and Freeport area has been a good one. I was speaking with Mary at Brewer's the other day to let her know that I had a new blog. She noticed my picture which was taken on Monhegan this fall. Mary said that she and her husband Curt love Monhegan. She also said that her husband who is soon to retire as a fisherman was shipwrecked when his scallop boat caught fire and sank back in 1982. Curt apparently was in the water for 24 hours until he unknowingly washed up on the shores of Monhegan. At daylight, Curt had to hail a local fisherman to inquire what island he was on. Mary is going to encourage Curt to write his memoirs of 32 years as a New England fisherman. I'll be the first one to read his book!
