Our story

  1. July 2018

    Low tide

    Two summer sailing instructors stuck on a sandbar with twelve teenagers.

  2. January 2022

    Inland

    A winter in Vermont proved we could survive without the ocean. Barely.

  3. August 2025

    High tide

    Liam proposed on the same sandbar, timing the tide so we did not get stuck this time.

Travel & stay

Where to stay

Airports

  • PWM Portland International Jetport about 40 minutes
  • BOS Boston Logan International Airport about 1 hour 45 minutes

Getting around

You will want a car. The Amtrak Downeaster stops in Wells, about 15 minutes away; we can arrange rides from the station. Staying on into the week? Island ferries leave from the Portland waterfront several times a day, about 40 minutes north.

Good to know

Maine in July is warm by day and cool by the water at night: bring a sweater for the porch. The ocean is cold. Very cold. Coming from Canada? Bring your passport; most places take cards, but the lobster shacks by the harbor like cash.

Things to do

  • Beaches Several sandy beaches within a short drive.
  • Whale watching Boats leave from the harbor most mornings in summer.
  • Lighthouses Two are within a short drive; go at sunset.
