Portland, ME. ..... So far, this cruise has been more about those firedrills than fun. Not enough time devoted to the boat over the past two years, and a few intractable problems have kept us scrambling to keep things running. But those issues are nearly resolved, and we have finally reached Maine, our destination. And it's always good to be living aboard, and there has been some time for art. I have been trying to do some exercises in abstract painting to loosen up and become less literal. Nothing I want to share, though.

That's it for now. Hopefully the next few weeks will bring more quiet opportunities.
