Sailing season begins

A sure sign of the start of a new season, the Windjammers are setting sail! Welcome back one and all! There are few better ways to spend two hours in Camden than on a great windjammer. One of our favorite things to do, meet the great captains of these historic vessels as you motor out of the harbor, then watch the sails spread and feel the wind catch them. Enjoy the stories told by these fine sailors during the peace and quiet of the ride. Take in the beautiful scenery of Maine's gorgeous coast. Return to the dock with a new and relaxed spirit! Stay with us and we'll book one of these great sails for you while you're here.

Gnorm overseeing, or is that oversleeping the herb garden!

A Spanish Look at Camden.

Ana Arasanz, a travel writer from Spain, stayed with us at the end of her class at the Acadia Center for English Immersion. Acadia Center is a great school that hosts those wishing to improve their English language skills through immersion in the culture. We have been priviledged to have some of their students stay with us at the Captain Swift Inn. Enjoy Ana's comments and photos of her stay during Lobster Fest.

A Great Trail To Explore!!

Maine Wine TrailJune 13th, 2010 . by admin
What comes to mind when you think of a Maine? The rocky coast? Mountains? Lobster? Seals, whales and puffins? How about wineries? Probably not. Yet Maine has 15 wineries, the majority of which are located along that rocky coast. Summer is a great time to plan a Maine vacation including a trip along the Maine Wine Trail and the Sebasco Harbor Resort in Sebasco Maine makes a great home base for exploring Midcoast Maine and making a scenic day trip along the Maine Wine Trail.
With 7 wineries concentrated in the area, Mid Coast Maine is a great spot to focus your travels.
Anyone followed this trail, yet?
