Photography tours are the BEST! I love taking lots of photos while exploring part of our magnificentworld.

In June I went on an unusual Photo Tour—six days on a windjammer off the coast of Maine with twophotography leaders from Maine Media. (https://www.mainemedia.edu)

Windjammers are wonderful historic boats used for years as major cargo haulers until roads andtrucks became available. Now, there are 13 in Maine employed as tourist boats. We sailed on theAngelique (https://www.sailangelique.com) which is part of the Maine Windjammer Association.(https://sailmainecoast.com) We sailed in and out Camden with no specific itinerary, anchoring atnight in lovely coves and harbors.

This is a terrific way to experience the Maine coast, live on a large sailboat and indulge in hobbies.you go to the web site (https://sailmainecoast.com), you’ll see that a variety of specialty weeks areoffered—wine tasting, yoga, grandparents, nature, in addition to photography. Trips vary in length aswell.

So, what was it like?

Well, first of all, do know that the cabins are small and bathrooms shared. Wasn’t a problem. It’s a bitlike camping. The food was terrific. We loved the young crew. About two-thirds of us had cameras inhand all the time, the rest of the 25 guests were along for the ride.

Morning coffee set up

It was a great opportunity to take close up photos of different elements of the boat. As a group weshared our images with each other. I found seeing what the people photographed and how they did itto be inspiring.

We enjoyed watching the crew raise and lower the sails, but often participated. They are heavy hugecanvases with no power winches aboard. Everyone could join in.

We got off the boat in a row boat, visiting the Wooden Boat School, small towns, lighthouses includingone under repair and walking trails. More photo opportunities. All transfers on the rowboat werehandled safely by the crew.
