Acadia National Park
Bar Harbor
I couldn't pass up every opportunity to record the harbor scene; especially the elegant "Margaret Todd." This 151ft schooner makes three 2 hour cruises daily. I was so busy hiking and photographing the coast and mountains that I didn't get to cruise - proof that it takes more than a week to experience Acadia and its amenities. Daily ferry service also takes you to other islands and the Schoodic Peninsula section of Acadia National Park. You could also take a ferry trip out of the country from here via the Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, Canada route. It's difficult to get a close shot of the "Margaret Todd" at full sail from the pier because the sails go up and are pulled down outside of the inner harbor.
