Boone Island tragedy

Some of you intrepid kayakers may have paddled out to Boone Island from York Harbor Maine on occasion. This is the story of a shipwreck on the rocks over 300 years ago. The story of survival, battling hypothermia and starvation may be a cautionary tale for all mariners.

Today the air was so clear the Boon Island Light seemed very close as did the Isles of Shoals while paddling up to York from Portsmouth. So much history along that part of the coast and not all of it good. Hope the spectacular weather continues for the club paddle Sunday.
