I love Frenchamn's Bay. My first visit to Maine in 1984 was a stay on Hancock Point, on Frenchman's Bay, near Bar Harbor. That is where the Obamas went for a boatride on their speed vacation to Maine.
I would like to know what body of water that is. Perhaps Blue Hill Bay? or Hancock Point, Frenchman's Bay? I hope they are buying local.
Hugging the coast of Labrador to avoid a gale at sea. There's not much shelter here. I don't know what the next stop is. The days are long now. The sun rises about 4:30 and sets at 9:30 so you can cover a lot of ground in day light there. There's a big gulf north and refuge at Indian Harbour and Cut Throat Island. And a big island north by east, known to the locals as Gronland.
Three tugs tow the new Willlis Avenue Bridge span from West Hurley, up the Hudson near Albany, on its way down to its new position on the Harlem River. After a couple of weeks in Bayonne they will take it through the East river to its home on the Harlem River? The Times account is HERE.
Below is a shot I took a few years ago of the new 145th Street bridge ready to be put in place. The Willis Ave. bridge is more than twice the weight. But as one of the guys from Mammoet the Dutch outfit handling the transport said: "It's simple if you have the right tool".

I know that you are blind in the fog. But he's got a 38 foot boat and a GPS and radar, it appears. How do you miss the Kennebunk River and end up on the beach? Who was at the helm? Navigating?

My favorite is a Bloody Billy at Billy's Tavern in Thomaston, Maine. It starts with a couple of inches of Guinness. Perfect with a couple of Pemaquid oysters.
