For the hands and for the heart…

This salve comes in two scents: lavender and sandalwood/vanilla.

The 4 oz. tins are perfect for travel. Place the 8 oz. jars next to the sink, on the bedstand, the dresser or the workbench. Bees wax is not only good for your hands it is also a great lubricant/corrosion preventative for wood screws that you just (or some poor soul you may never meet) might want to take out someday. And that new skiff you are building will smell nice too. You’ll come in from the shop smelling better than the engine you just rebuilt.

Jen's Home Made Hand Salve

Price: $6/4 oz tin, $10/8 oz. jar

The sailing is always great early in the season.

We are pleased to be offering our 2nd annual wine appreciation cruise with Ali Scheier, formerly a Tasting Room Specialist, from Cellardoor Door Winery in nearby Lincolnville. Fall foliage sailing will open our senses to the wonders of Penobscot Bay. Exploring aromas and wine pairing will be the topics that allow us to refine our appreciation of what wines work well for any occasion. In addition we will enjoy a very special treat of wine and chocolate pairing.  When we arrive at the dock on Thursday everyone is invited to lunch and a tour of the spectacular Cellardoor Vineyard. Join us for this very unique autumn exploration of the Maine coast, by land and by sea. (Add $25 per person for the tour and lunch at Cellardoor Winery after the cruise.)

The Grindle Point Lighthouse on Isleboro Island

Join us for a unique lighthouse tour under sail aboard the Maine windjammer, Mary Day. Live the history of these magnificent coastal sentinels from the perspective of the mariners that used these lighthouses a hundred years ago. Local lighthouse experts Ted and Jo Panyatoff will be aboard to share their passion, knowledge and dedication to preserving these national treasures. This truly unique lighthouse tour gives you the opportunity to be a part of the sailing adventure or just relax as we share the wonders of the protected waters and islands of the Maine coast.

Of course, we see lighthouses on every cruise, but this is your chance to be guided by experts. And during these cruises, we make a special effort to get to as many of New England’s most famous lighthouses as possible.

Bass Harbor Head Lighthouse

2012 Lighthouse Tours: Sailing June 6 and Sept. 5

Retired innkeepers Ted and Jo have been guiding lighthouse tours by land and sea to some of Maine’s finest examples of working and historic lighthouses for many years. Ted is the author of the recently published history of the Rockland Breakwater Lighthouse and is well versed in the history of Maine’s lighthouses as well as in the amazing personal stories behind the lighthouses we will see. The Panyatoff’s collection of lighthouse history and memorabilia is impressive and has been featured in many national and international magazines. Ted will offer slide presentations covering the history of the lighthouses here in Maine and across the country.

Ranger Terry Cole shows us the original Fresnel Lens at Fort Point Lighthouse

We have seen as many as 9 lights in a single day and have 23 lighthouses in our area including one of Maine’s most complete light stations. We will show you lights that just can’t be seen from shore and it is always our goal to tour the inside of an actual working lighthouse. Mary Day is a pure sailing vessel so our itinerary is unpredictable and every lighthouse tour is a unique adventure aboard a fast and stable sailing legend.

The 21 lights we are likely to see in our normal cruising grounds each week: Curtis Island, Indian Island, Rockland Breakwater, Owls Head, Browns Head, Goose Rocks, Heron Neck, Saddleback Ledge, Deer Isle Thorofare (Mark Island), Robinson Pt (Isle Au Haut), Hockamock Head, Bear Island, Baker Island, Egg Rock, Bass Harbor Head, Blue Hill, Pumpkin Island, Dice Head, Eagle Island, Fort Point, Grindel Point

With a little extra effort and a fair breeze we can get out to see Mt Desert Rock or Matinicus Rock Lights.

Pumpkin Island Lighthouse, one of 20 Maine Lighthouses we may see on our expert-guided Lighthouse Tours.

Fireworks over the harbor cap Friday night's festivities.

Our photographer friend Greg Brannan created these “virtual” tours of Mary Day on deck. It takes a few moments to download but be patient… it is a pretty cool way to see the boat. By scrolling your mouse left and right or up and down you can get a 360 degree view of Mary Day at her home berth in Camden, Maine. Take a look up the main mast!
