Northeast Hbr
I took this shot of my buddy's boat on a foggy Northeast Harbor morning a few years back. It's a Cape Dory 25D, sweet little boat.
Of course, my daughter's pet hefalump had to be in the shot - good call.

Re: Northeast Hbr
Nice photo John. There's something about boats moored on a foggy/misty day that makes the scene so much more attractive - very "artsy". Why is that?

Heffalump is perched on the end of the boom of the boat in the foreground - lower right corner of the photo.

Re: Northeast Hbr
Not in the picture I have, it doesn't show the end of the boom so I guess my picture must be smaller than what others receive which makes me wonder what else I've been missing . . . probably a whole lot in more than just this picture which is kind of strange because I have a large 19" monitor screen.Rachel wrote:Heffalump is perched on the end of the boom of the boat in the foreground - lower right corner of the photo.
So how does one expand (or reduce?) the image to include the boom end ???

Good Dad!
Good picture!
As I recall, those little hefalumps came with us everywhere. Of course they had to be well fed and penned up at night - Lord knows what sort of mischief a pair of hungry hefalumps could cause in the misty dark of night!

Re: Northeast Hbr
We had some great summers cruising the coast of Maine back then.
Honestly, how you could not smile when you faced a friendly hefalump every time you stepped up through the companionway?
That hefalump was a heck of a helmsman!
