Picture Yourself...

…in this little boat, along with five or six other people, no cabin, no engine, no cooking facilities, no creature comforts at all! Perhaps I’m spoiled, but I like my own boat, thank you very much! We spied two of these boats over several days in the vicinity of Penobscot Bay. One finally anchored close enough so we could see what it was: Outward Bound. We thought we were inconvenienced when we had to close our hatches as the rain started, but these folks had nothing but a tarp overhead. So these people were paying for the discomfort. But they sounded like they were having a good time, and that’s all that matters.

  1. I agree..we like our own boat too. Had an outward bound group anchor by us near Stonington. They didn't even have a tarp! Rain and fog the next morning, Lynn was almost ready to head over with a pot of coffee. Would probably have made their day. Paying for an experience...
