Taking a cruise

It was a hot day on the docks today! We had to hose the parking lot down to cut down on the dust. But the people heading on the Whale Boat were a happy lot so here is a quick video showing the people heading out to track down the Whales of July!

A bit of summer in the winter

I was going thru the images that I have collected over the years and I found this one of the yacht "Adiz" that was moored off the Breakers one summer after a small rain shower. I love the rainbow in the back ground.

The "Adiz" was on the final leg of a world tour from what I understood at the time of this picture.

Final Fling of Season?

It looks like that Mother Nature is going to give us a hard time in getting out to see the whales for one last time before Columbus Day. The sea conditions look like it is going to be a bit on the windy side. But we are going to cross our fingers and hope for the best.

Funny reply of the week. Someone asked us if we gave senior discounts on whale tickets. And one of our quick witted associates said that we don't believe in age discrimination thus we didn't have a senior discount.

It has been very busy in the Kennebunk area we are still getting a lot of cruise ship buses out of Portland, Maine. Yesterday it was the Queen Victoria out of South Hampton, England on a 24 day tour.

Cruise Ship Buses

Well the marina parking lot is filling up....with cruise ship buses. Some of the the people are going out on the Scenic Lobster Tour which is very nice.

I believe there were 11 buses at this point in time when we took the rooftop picture. Each bus holds 45 to 50 people. So the marina parking czar/bus wrangler helped unload approximately 600 people to hit all the shops and restaurants in the area.

It's part of the Stimulus Package Program.... I am jesting, of course.
