Re: [Paddlewise] maine coast

In addition to the information below I will make 2 other recommendations.
Look at the book "Hot Showers" Maine Coast Lodgings for Kayakers and
Sailors;
and become a memeber of the Maine Island Trail Association. (207-761-8225).
If you are planning a lates summer trip (fog season) bring a compass.
If you have any specific questions let me know.  I know you will have a
great time!
