Seasonal Galley, By Letitia Baldwin, Globe Correspondent—September 4, 2005
"Rockland, Maine—Wood smoke. That comforting smell, which permeates clothes and conjures up foggy Maine days spent close to a fireplace or woodstove, fills the air.

Schooner Fare, By Kristin Anderson
"The brilliant sun dances on the water and crisp ocean air fills the sails of the windjammer J & E Riggin as the bustle of Bass Harbor—last night's port of call—fades into the distance. On deck, the guests chat and relax. Some knit, others crochet, and one man teaches himself to tie knots. A few sailors consult with the captain, and several people are stretched out like cats, sleeping and soaking up the warm sunshine."
