 On a picture-perfect July day, Jay and I decided to take a boat ride over to Monhegan Island. Friends of ours, Rich and Robin Goinsalos, stayed with us a few days and came along. Monhegan Island is a small, rocky island about 10 miles away from the nearest mainland, and the population year-round is something like maybe 65. There's not much to do on the island. Fishing is a mainstay. There's lots of artists there. They set up little cottages where they sell some of their artwork and things of that nature, but it is a beautiful spot to hike and to just enjoy the day. We took a boat ride over from Booth Bay. Took about an hour and a half. Loved every minute of it.
