A Nor'easter along the coast of Maine

April 16, 2007 will long be remembered by our guests as a Nor'easter rolled in on Sunday evening bringing wind swept rain and gusts reaching near hurricane speed. Admittedly the rains came, the wind howled and the seas churned yet we all remained safe and sound, dry, warm and snug as a bug in a rug in the confines of the inn. No loss of power this time and breakfast was served promptly at 9 AM with everyone present and accounted for.

The picture above was taken around noon on Monday overlooking the Bush compound. The seas were pounding the rocks, the spray was incredible and sound was deafening as it drew many of us the shore line to take a look at the mighty power of wind, sea and surf. There's a simplistic beauty that seems to bring each and every one of us to the coast. Whether it's the pounding surf or the gentle roll of a wave against warm sands of the beach as it tickles out toes, we want to see, feel and take in it's breath taking beauty. We'll soon forget the harsh winter and the wet spring and focus our attention to sunny days of summer. The golf courses are set to open shortly, the days are certainly longer and the birds are making their migration north, A sure sign of things to come.
