It’s 9:38 am and I decided this morning that I needed to create a blog prior to setting sail on my Maine Coast exploration, for which I leave at noon. I’m known for my impeccable timing.
I will not write much, save a declaration of excitement. How did I get to be lucky enough to experience this? I’ll be sailing for a week along the Maine Coast, camping out on islands at night and waking to the coastal sunrise. This is in preparation (an orientation, if you will) for my next year’s stint as a Teaching Fellow at the Maine Coast Semester. Their generosity in allowing me to come there and experience this, astounds me. I’ll be gone for 5 days, and then back in Boston for 10 prior to leaving for Amherst College, where I will spend my summer teaching.
A reflection on my coastal trip still to come…
