As has been said a few times already, Maine is absolute sailing heaven “for a couple of months”. Maybe May 15-September 15 is more realistic. October and November? Forget it. You can be facing temps in the low 30’s, wind and even snow. That’s not cruising. That’s surviving. I have family that has lived in Maine for 25+ years, and I’ve been on their boat out of Buck’s Harbor many, many times. My only point is the summer is ungodly short, literally July 4-August 10. Water temps never, ever hit 60. Not my cup of tea.
