Description: Turning home, I passed a four-masted schooner, a reminder of simpler days of yesteryear when wind and waves powered man's dreams. Today a four cylinder Rotax will do.

    Welcome to the digital world, Mark!<br />Looks like you've gotten it all figured out. Please don't forget that this old camera will not take the nice crisp pictures that Dan's camera takes. Once you're hooked there are a bunch of great cameras to choose from.<br /><br />

    Tony, thanks again for the camera, I know full well it's not on par with Dan's or some of the others here, yet it does a nice job. Dan's pics, of course, are a very difficult act to follow and by no means did I even pretend to try.....but here they are for what it's worth.<br /><br />Oh, and my new laptop came with a built-in card reader, much easier than using the software and cord.

    Great Pics of MDI! Last year Jane and I hiked all over it but never had a view as great as these.

    Mark, saw this picture and had to comment. It looks like the 4 masted schooner of Steve Pagels sailing out of Bar Harbor. Many years ago I helped him rig and sail his three masted schooner, The Natalie Todd (the first one of the Maine sailing fleet) one summer during college. I got the job by mail and a phone call from Iowa where I was in school. He took a chance on me and I set my foot on the first sailboat I had ever been on and spent 4 months living abord and learning about it inside and out. Now it is a distant memory which surfaces when I see a picture like this or the one mounted in my office. I left the schooner that September 21 years ago to drive to colorado where I enrolled in airplane mechanics school and begin flying lessons, how I now make my living. Someday I will travel back to Bar Harbor and see what Steve is sailing. As soon as I saw the picture I wondered if those are the Porcupine Islands that lead into the harbor of Bar Harbor. Thanks for taking me down memory lane!

    Paul, I would say it's a safe bet that this schooner belongs to your friend. These are not exactly a dime a dozen around here. I only regret that I didn't get closer to it for a better shot.

    Nice trip over terrain that looks familiar to me. Thanks!

    Thanks Frank. The fall colors are quickly going by here now, I have the feeling the next pics I put up may have white on the ground....
