Roger and I have been lucky enough to be able to go on the water out of 3 different harbors on 3 different kinds of boats. I've also had the opportunity to live out one of items on my bucket list and that is to go kayaking. Not only did I get to go kayaking, but I got to kayak on the ocean with my very good friend Donna Davis and her wonderful grandson Alden. Unfortunately, I didn't get any pictures of me kayaking because I didn't want to get the camera wet much less lose it if I tipped.
Here's an assortment of our boating trips. The 1st are from our trip to Cabbage Island on a tour boat Bennie Alice.

On Thursday of this week several of the couples who work at the Augusta/Gardiner KOA as Workkampers went for a dinner cruise aboard the schooner Heron out of Rockport. The Heron starred as "Sanderson's Yacht" in the Johnny Depp film Rum Diary.
