Gotts Cove Panorama. Justin Stailey, photographer

This picture of our cove was snapped last evening by Justin Stailey, a frequent guest at Coveside and a serious photographer.  Yesterday was uncharacteristically sultry while we prepared for Hurricane Earl. When it finally arrived after midnight, it was something of a non-event, at least in Midcoast Maine. We got a bit more than 2 inches of much-needed rain.  And the humidity has finally broken after the longest heat spell in Maine history (Portland had four consecutive days of 90+ degree heat, a record).  But we got very little wind — due, undoubtedly, to the fact that we spent much of yesterday bringing in the boat, kayaks and canoe, stowing away all the porch furniture, and generally battening down the hatches.  The weatherman promises a week of sunshine, moderate temperature, and low humidity. We’re ready for fall!
