GUEST,Jerry BS: Things to see in New England (53* d) RE: BS: Things to see in New England 07 Aug 03


Labor Day weekend this year is the annual Windjammer Days Festival in Camden, Maine. Lots 'o tourists, unfortunately, but there'll be 17 schooners in the harbor, which is quintissential. Drive to the top of Mt. Batty for a view of Penobscot Bay that is beyond compare. Some sea music will be part of it all, too.

On the way, drive south on Rt. 24 out of Brunswick, ME, to the end of Bailey Island. Loads of lovely coastal scenery along the way.

If you go to Pemaquid you could swing by Bremen, ME, and see the hulk of the Cory Cressy, a wooden 5-masted schooner that was once a whorehouse in Boston Harbor. It's a sad sight, but evocative.

Have a fine trip.

Jerry
