We took the 7AM ferry out to and island off the coast of Maine over the weekend.
Monhegan has long been known as an artist enclave. Wyeths painted out here, and I think Andrew still owns a portion of Manana Is right across the way [4th photo].
Rockwell Kent made a very successful series of paintings of the island just after the turn of the last century, after which he painted Mt Monadnock which I used to see out my bedroom window in New Hampshire.
Making our trip so early in the season was a boon. Cool breezes and few tourists made for a very relaxing day.
