Motorcycle Adventure to Acadia and Swans Island, Maine 2017
In early Fall, 2017 my riding buddy and I took a motorcycle adventure trip to Acadia and visited Swans Island by ferry boat in Tremont, Maine. Maine is a beautiful state to visit any time of the year. Maine's natural beauty is consistent no matter what time of year you visit. Fall is my favorite time of year. I hope you enjoy this short video clip. Thank you for watching!

Island Cruises - Bass Harbor, Maine 2009
We chose the lunch cruise that leaves at 11:00 am. This is a narrated nature cruise that also goes into the history of the Maine seacoast and islands.
It starts off the shore of old fish factory that is now condos. Then on to Bass Harbor Head Light. From there it goes to the small islands of Blue Hill Bay. All along the way are seagulls and cormorants. Bald eagles and harbor seals.
Then lunch at the Dockside Deli in the village of Frenchboro. We had Grilled cheese sandwiches with ham, a container of homemade potatoe salad and 2 cokes for ten dollars and change.
On the way back the captain pulled a couple lobster pots and explained how it is done.
It was a wonderful clear day and we could see for miles. For us, this trip made our vacation.
We saw - Porpoise, seals, ocean birds, bald eagles, lighthouses - on the island which only has 50 people living on it (they make there living on Lobster fishing)
Very Highly recommend - don't get stuck going on a cruise in bar harbor, you will find this place in Bass Harbor.

Hancock County DA Office Employee Meltdown
October 14th, 2014-
At a public District Attorney debate in Blue Hill, Maine, current Hancock County District Attorney Office employee verbally attacks candidate Matthew Foster for exposing the corruption that has plagued that office for so long. The moderator for the event was forced to restrain the employee and told her she was out of line before she exited the building.
Let's put this in perspective. This is the woman who used her influence in the District Attorney's office and it was Assistant District Attorney Bill Entwisle who was sanctioned $300.
This case was cited with two others in the Integrity4Maine bar complaint against Entwisle and DA Bassano
