STUDENT ENTRY

“When you go to Maine, your clothes will never dry!” “It will rain a lot and the sun will never shine!” That was all I was told from friends who had sailed up to these parts of town before.

            Luckily, that hasn’t been the case. Actually, we have been lucky this entire trip. Maine is beautiful, one of the most amazing places in the United States. There is no other place like it.

            We climbed to the top of the Mount Desert Island and got to see the chain of islands that are a part this absolutely beautiful state.

            The forests are wooded, filled with endless amounts of pine and little creaks and rivers. You can go on and on until you reach the ocean, without a soul in sight.

            Stopping at all of these islands in Maine, hiking exploring and being able to just sit and enjoy has been wonderful.

            I was so sad about skipping New York City, but all of the sunsets, sights, and clear, beautiful days of sailing have been absolutely worth it.
