About this blog

Marnie and Paul are a retired couple living in Arrowsic, Maine. We have enjoyed brief visits to various parts of the state, and our enthusiasm for these visits led friends to suggest we "write them up." So here are some very short descriptions of where we've been and what we did there, along with links to web sites where appropriate. We hope readers will comment on these places and add their own impressions and suggestions.
The places we visited are not listed in any special order.

Stonington

A few years ago Andrea gave us a stay at The Inn on the Harbor, a pleasant B&B right on the water in the heart of Stonington. We ate at The Fisherman's Friend, which had superb simple seafood and now has moved down to the water and become gussied up. Very gradually, this old fishing village is getting somewhat fashionable, but it is still real waterfront Maine, and the area has some beautiful coves and walks. We rented a Javelin sailboat at Old Quarry, but it was not in condition to sail. So they gave us a Rhodes 19 instead, and that would have been wonderful for poking around in Merchants Row -- gorgeous small islands -- but there was almost no wind and we had to do some paddling. Ah, well.
