This is the third post in my New England Getaway series. I previously blogged about my time in Salem and Gloucester, MA. Back in July while I was visiting Maine, I went on an incredible sunset cruise that took off from Bar Harbor and went all through the Mt. Desert Narrows and Frenchman’s Bay. At the end of a trip that presented with mostly overcast and rainy weather, this beautiful sunset cruise was a welcome change of scenery. In this post I will share some of my favorite photos from that evening.
