O Boy! A message board just for what I need to know. I should introduce myself and say that I have been hacking around Casco Bay my whole life in a ten foot pram. As a babe, my Dad would take 7 of us, Mom, Dad, the kids and Grandma out for a row out to Basket, Little Chebeague, wherever, for a picnic. He must have had biceps the size of my thighs. Anyway, following the Brawn vs. Brain approach to cruising, I have taken to following ancient Indian canoe routes and my next trip takes me from the Penobscot River to my Great Great Grandfather's cellar hole (and my current cottage) on Cousin's Island in Casco Bay. In a canoe.
Anyway, my question is this: My BRAND NEW DeLorme Atlas shows primitive campsites on both Lower Goose Island and Little Whaleboat Island. Either of these would be a perfect camp after portaging from Clark Cove in Harpswell Sound over to Lookout Point boat ramp. My "Maine Coast Guide for Little Friggin Boats (C) 2000" by Curtis Rindlaub says "Do not Land".
So since I will be trying to cover the miles in a canoe, it will be a real hardship to arrive at a site at day's end only to find I can't camp. Via email or post, I'd love to hear anyone's experience.
