MATINICUS ISLAND MAINE SAILING - MASSIVE 12 FT TIDES CHALLENGE GOING ASHORE IN THIS LOBSTER TOWN
About 22 miles off shore Rockland Maine lies Matinicus Isle Plantation - the furthest island out from the coast. It is 2 miles long by a mile wide - 9 square miles of Beauty, Isolation, Independence. You need to love being alone. The population was 53 at the 2020 census.
It's a 750-acre granite rock with the occasional beach shoreline, but mostly spruce and wildflowers and everything that grows in between.
1750 saw it’s first resident, among the native Americans. It’s now a mixture of permanent residents - lobstermen and summer residents - business people and artists that need to get away from their crowded lives elsewhere.
Waterfront property goes for millions of dollars - IF you can pry it out of the locals hands. Good luck trying. Or rather - please don’t try. Leave it as it is, you can visit, but don’t change it. It’s wonderful the way it is. Just hike, sightsee, meet the locals and just BE.
We dropped another message in a bottle between Matinicus and Monhegan Islands. It ended up in Friendship Maine - 15 miles in 42 days. Not the speediest.
Location & Date Found: September 4, 2023, Friendship Maine
Location & Date Dropped: July 24, 2023 – Monhegan Island, Maine
Miles & Time Travelled: 15 miles – 42 days
Story: This message made it about 15 miles. They write, “Hello Stephen & Dawn! My husband found your bottle while lobstering a few days ago and we wanted to reach out. Our daughter was so excited to open it! We have added a note with yours and will re-release it this week for the next people to find, hopefully somewhere far away - thanks so much! – The Emerson’s, Friendship, Maine.
