Fall Tour (1 through 5 of 5)
The Fall Tour, or better known as the Nor'easter of 2010, went on this past weekend in Sebasco Harbor Resort, Sebasco Estates, Maine. Sebasco Estates is located near Bath, ME on the Atlantic Ocean. Bill and Donna Newman, Allen Sission, Mary Grace and Mary Grace's yellow Lab, Ben, plus Mary Lou and I, attended. Lou and Shannon Frate, who organized the location, tour, and lunch suggestions were unable to attend at the last moment, but they were there in spirit!

We all met Friday at 5:00 p.m. at the bar at the Resort and lifted a few beers to celebrate all the work that Lou and Shannon had put into our Fall Tour. The weather was fierce with the Nor'easter and we watched the boats pitch in on their moorings. The rain was horizontal on Friday night.

Early Saturday morning, Ben went for a swim cheered on by all of us. The weather was still rainy and cold, but our spirits were bolstered by Ben's love of the water. Ben was tired so we went to breakfast to discuss our drive. Lou and Shannon has planned a spirited drive of about three hours on farm roads, along the Kennebec River, across some wooded farmland, back down the Damariscotta River to Booth Bay Harbor that we all loved. Allen and Mary brought their Volvo wagon for Ben's comfort and Mary Lou and I bought our VW Jetta due to the weather, but Bill and Donna did bring their Carrera 4 911 Cab. Bill and Donna were smart, as they had their Porsche to drive on Lou's roads.

We ended up for lunch at McSeaGulls in Booth Bay Harbor for lobster rolls and other sea food. Then we drove around the scenic drive on Ocean Point at Booth Bay Harbor.

Bill, Donna, Mary Lou, and I went to the Maine Maritime Museum at Bath and had a blast seeing all the shipbuilding history of Bath, Maine. There is a Navy Sumwalt Class Destroyer almost ready to launch at Bath Iron Works. Allen and Mary Grace went shopping for Ben in Booth Bay Harbor and we met for cocktails at 6:00 p.m at Sebasco Harbor Resort restaurant for a beautiful sunset over the water.

We dined Saturday night at the Sebasco Harbor Resort and enjoyed a good drive and hoisted more beers to Lou and Shannon!

Sunday morning we met and watched Ben enjoy a longer swim than Saturday's as the sun was bright and the rain and drizzle had stopped. After breakfast, we all said goodbye and traveled home with warm memories of good friends, and a wonderful TYP356ne Fall Tour 2010.

Thanks again Lou and Shannon for all your planning. You were there in spirit with us all.
