SAILING Our Seawind 1600 to MAINE'S MOST REMOST ISLAND | Harbors Unknown Ep. 44
This week we’re sailing our Seawind 1600 catamaran from Mt. Desert Island to Matinicus, Maine's most remote island. 22 miles from Rockland, in the outer reaches of Penobscot Bay. A remote place steeped in tradition with many of the same families living there for generations. A sort of chosen isolation. There are no restaurants, no grocery stores. People place orders at a supermarket in Rockland and the groceries are flown in. Tales of lobster wars and residents that now tolerate visitors, it piqued our curiosity. The best part of travel is meeting people with a completely different way of life, and experiencing places without the standard strip malls of Target, Starbucks etc., places that have a unique character. That is what we hoped to find.
What we discovered is simplicity. A place where life is boiled down to enjoying simple things. The smell of ocean air mixed with pine. The sound of gurgling waves meeting the shore, and the cacophony of bugs. Sand sparkling like diamonds in the glistening sunlight. A sense of community where as soon as you find yourself needing help, someone is there to lend a hand. I’ll take that any day.

If you're new here, Harbors Unknown is the story of two dreamers, Kristin and Fabio Potenti, and our French Bulldog dog Yoda. We sold our home at the beginning of the pandemic (May 27th, 2020) and moved aboard our @Seawind Catamarans boat, Wanderlust, in September. We're sailing her to Harbors Unknown, to explore the world’s vast cultures through food, a common thread amongst people everywhere. Connecting with people and places through the local cuisine, and showing how those dishes can be cooked on a boat with limited space and resources. We share our adventures as a sailing couple living on a boat and how it’s possible to live an #alternativelifestyle that provides freedom and fulfillment. We have set off on our voyage sailing around the world, after exploring the beautiful waters of South Florida, the Florida Keys, and the Bahamas. Subscribe now to join our #sailingadventure.
