Mel Rice Posted June 17, 2006 Posted June 17, 2006 Hey Jon,I think we should settle this MDI vs. Stonington thing...Of course the only way to do that is to spend a LOT of time paddling in both places. That would be terrible wouldn't it? Cheers,Mel Quote
jonsprag1 Posted June 19, 2006 Posted June 19, 2006 Actually I have to admit that even though I favor Stonington, MDI is really nice too---I've spent a lot of time in both places---the one advantage that MDI has over Stonington is the night life and shopping. Quote
Nick Schade Posted June 19, 2006 Posted June 19, 2006 >the one advantage that MDI has over >Stonington is the night life and shopping. I've paddled for years around the MDI area and never, on any of my paddles, have I encountered the ability to shop. The waters around MDI have cliffs, caves, waves, islands, guillemots, porpoises, and whales and a wonderful lack of shopping. The night life consists of barking seals, mumbling eiders and phosphorescing dinoflagellates.Shopping can be done at the local mall. Maine is for everything but shopping. Quote
jonsprag1 Posted June 20, 2006 Posted June 20, 2006 Unless of course you happen to live here year round---Boston is a little far too go for a night out(although I've done it) and to get your groceries or buy a pair of shoes. Besides, if none of the people "from away" never shopped here, how would we get through the winter? Quote
