Maine has been one of my favorite places since my first visit in 2009. After years of exploring the coast, the St. George Peninsula and the surrounding Midcoast area have become the places I return to most. I would love to share some of my favorite places with you as I celebrate 50. No gifts.

The Itinerary

What's on Deck

Join me for as much or as little of the weekend as you can. Please indicate each event you plan to attend and RSVP by Friday, July 31.

All of the activities on Saturday and Sunday are my treat. Guests are responsible for their own travel and accommodations.

FridayAugust 14
Afternoon

Glidden Point Oyster Farm If you're in early

If you're already in the area, I'm planning to visit Glidden Point Oyster Farm and eat a few oysters straight off the boat. It will be completely casual, so come along if you're around.

Evening

Welcome Drinks

We'll gather Friday evening for casual drinks and time together before the weekend's activities begin. The time and location will be shared later, but it will be somewhere in the Tenants Harbor area.

Join me for a paddle with Tamara of Port Clyde Kayaks, who I have gone out with many times. All experience levels are welcome, from beginners to advanced paddlers. Please include your experience level when you RSVP. We'll choose the route based on the group, so please sign up only if you are committed to attending. More details will be shared with participants. Weather permitting.

Private Restorative Yoga

A quiet, restorative class with Salt and Stillness. This will be a deeply relaxing and centering experience, rather than a traditional workout-style yoga class. No yoga experience is needed, and mats will be provided.

Private Sailboat Charter

Three hours on the water with A Morning in Maine, departing from Rockland. Bring your own snacks and drinks if you'd like. The sail is weather permitting.

A Few Extras

Good to know

A few travel notes and local favorites to help you plan your weekend.

Getting here & where to stay

I'll be staying in Tenants Harbor, and the weekend's activities are spread across the St. George Peninsula, Port Clyde, and Rockland. A car is necessary for the weekend, although I'm happy to help coordinate carpools among guests.

Portland and Bangor are the main airport options. Knox County Regional Airport, near Rockland, is much closer and has limited flights from Boston.

The most convenient places to stay are Tenants Harbor, Port Clyde, Rockland, and other nearby parts of the St. George Peninsula. August is high season on the Maine coast, so book accommodations and a car as soon as possible.

Exact meeting locations, addresses, and parking details will be sent closer to the weekend.

My favorite spots in the area

If you've got extra time before or after the weekend, I put together a map of my favorite places in the Midcoast. Open the map →

What to pack

The entire weekend is casual, including the Saturday dinner. Bring layers, a light rain or wind jacket, comfortable shoes, and sun protection.

A few Maine things to know

Maine miles are longer than New York miles — the roads here are mostly two-lane and winding, so places that look close on a map can take longer to reach than you'd think. Check your route before you leave and build in extra time.

This is also a small coastal community that runs on Maine time. Restaurants and shops can close earlier than you'd expect, and hours vary — don't count on many options after 8pm.

The tides here are dramatic, so docks, beaches, and shorelines can look completely different within a few hours. Be careful on wet rocks, and keep an eye on anything you set down near the waterline.

Coastal weather can change quickly, and it's often cooler and windier on the water than it is inland — even if the forecast looks warm and sunny.

A Few Things

Frequently asked

Do I need to bring a gift?

No — please don't. Having you there is the whole gift.

Can I bring my partner, kids, or dog?

Absolutely. Partners, children, and plus ones or plus twos are welcome. The more the merrier. Just include everyone in your RSVP so I have an accurate headcount.

Dogs are welcome too, although they may not be able to join every scheduled activity.

Can I come for parts of the weekend?

Yes, come for whatever fits your schedule. Come for Saturday night or for the full three days or longer.

When do I need to RSVP?

Please RSVP by Friday, July 31 so I can confirm the planned activities.
