Summer is almost gone...but it's been a good one. Here are just a few of the reasons why: 
-I visited Acadia National Park for the first time and swam in the frigid water.
-I witnessed and experienced some of New England's most memorable hurricane swells:
-Bought a piece of Seamouse art from the splendid Corduroy boutique (its the yellow surfboard):
-Being introduced to Drift Magazine 
-Seeing my first opera.
-Discovering my sewing machine:
-Renewing my subscription to Surfrider and feeling very proud of myself. 
-Visiting Charles Darwin's house and seeing where Origins of the Species was written.
