Portsmouth, NH

GREAT run up from Boston to Portsmouth, which is New Hampshire’s only ocean port – it’s a VERY short shoreline. To the west is Massachusetts, and to the east is Maine: it’s right on the border of Maine. Drive over the river bridge, and you’re in Maine. Literally, one side of the bridge is New Hampshire, the other side is Maine. Very cool.

Visiting Brad, a college classmate, and his wife Renee’.

Yesterday was very busy – had to clean the boat for guests, then off on a tour and on to supper.

Here’s a photo of one of the memorable sights on my tour with Brad…the boat in the photos called a gundalow, a flat-bottomed, lateen-rigged sailing barge used for coastal trading in Maine and New Hampshire from the mid-1600’s to the early 1900’s!

We are in Little Harbor, one of the dozens of choices here – there is water everywhere. The marina is attached to an exquisite restored resort called Wentworth-by-the-Sea. Another place it would be fun to visit on a land vacation!

Gotta run…Brad is joining me at 7AM to accompany us to Portland Maine! Serendipitous and very fun!
