It’s the kind of Maine morning that’s worth getting up early to experience. A brilliant sunrise lightens the eastern sky until the horizon to horizon dome above turns to a rich light blue. We find ourselves anchored in still waters off Hay Island in Seal Bay. A gathering of boats with friends new and old surround s/v Oriane.
Every man made thing is quiet. Undisturbed, nature has reclaimed the area for the moment.
Gulls squawk and maneuver for advantage, sea crows shout alarm as yet another eagle overflies the shoreline. Pogies boil the water’s surface chased by uncounted hunting seals. Osprey proudly displaying their catch after loudly plunging feet first into the water.
It’s the kind of Maine morning that’s worth getting up early to experience. It’s got the promise of yet another day of wonder and discovery.
