Windjammer in Camden Harbor, Maine
During that weekend over 30 Windjammer ships came into the harbor. I met a local photographer guy who was trying to shoot for calendars, he still worked as a mechanic, but worked as a “pro” on the side, and said he would love to quit his “Day job”. He owned a new Nikon D300 and he loved it. He suggested getting the extra battery pack when you buy one. He also suggested using the geo-caching.com website when traveling. I’ve gotta check that out, not for the treasure aspect, just for finding the gps locations of cool local areas of interest to photograph. He also talked about the fact that all of the locals were worried about the price of oil to heat their houses this winter, at $4.50/gal it was going to be an expensive winter.
The Windjammers are the original sailing ships of 100 years ago refurbished and most are over 120 feet long and carried cargo all over the world…More windjammer facts
