Pied Beauty
1877
Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844-1889)

Glory be to God for dappled things —
     For skies of couple-colour as a brinded cow;
          For rose-moles all in stipple upon trout that swim;
Fresh-firecoal chestnut-falls; finches' wings;
     Landscape plotted & pieced — fold, fallow, & plough;
          And all trades, their gear & tackle & trim.
               All things counter, original, spare, strange;
Whatever is fickle, freckled, (who knows how?)
     With swift, slow; sweet, sour; adazzle, dim;
          He fathers-forth whose beauty is past change:
               Praise him.

"The cure for anything is salt water - sweat, tears, or the sea."
Tagore - Bengali poet and novelist

Hummer by the causeway between Little Deer Isle and Deer Isle off the Maine coast.

After her run up the western shore of Deer Isle (launching from and returning to Stonington< ME),
Hummer waits at the campsite, looking for a berth in Southwest Harbor on Mount Desert Island.

Rob and Linda test drive (sail) Hummer in Southwest Harbor.

The boat is light, fast and very responsive

Rob giving me some sailing tips ... um, pointers. I got a 'tip' the day before when a gust of wind hit the sail and
brought the starboard gunwale below the water line. Didn't capsize, but some water did get into the boat.

Here I am, givin' it a go. The next day I sailed solo all the way around Greening Island outside of Southwest Harbor.

Can you find Hummer in this photo?

Hummer car-topped at Manset Dock the day before leaving Mt. Desert Island. Sailed 2 days 'n outboarded 3 more. Delightful.

Neither a car nor a Passagemaker Dinghy ad, but it does have potential

Last stop on Mount Desert Island before heading out: the Mount Desert Spring Water Company — twenty-five cents a gallon.
