I told you I was going places!

It has been a busy spring and start to the summer but I decided it was time to start on my 2021 bucket list. I headed out to Boston Harbor a few weeks ago and then a few days off found me in Maine on Sebago Lake. Both were excellent trips and reminded me how this boat is so versatile.

In Boston I launched at a State boat ramp on the Charles River and traveled the heart of the city passing by Harvard and along the Esplanade. Better views of the city skyline can’t be bought and it was an awesome trip though Boston. Passing the iconic Citgo sign and the John Hancock building I passed through the locks and into the Harbor itself. Its a busy working place with large ships, ferries, and all sorts of boat traffic but the tug did fine and cruised all the way out to Quincy. Touring the back side of the airport was a treat with planes flying just overhead. The day ended with a sunset trip back up the Charles for a great day.

Sebago Lake is a day cruisers dream. Crystal clear water, huge homes, beaches, locks, quiet river and open water abound. It is a great place for the tug and was a great day. Launching on the East side a few days of exploring the lake was a treat. There are tons of places to poke around in and a trip up the Songo River brings you to more open water, dockside dining, and lots to see. I explored the lake over three days this time staying at an AirBnB that was rented lakeside with a mooring. Boaters headed to the Sebago should know that the public access sites are limited mostly to boat ramps and that there aren’t a lot of shore places to get off since most of the shoreline is privately owned. If you have a boat with a head and can stay on the hook there are ample placed that are sheltered to stay on the hook. Overall a great lake to explore with something for everyone!
