It's important to stay hydrated on our trips. Being outside in the sun and wind can be dehydrating, which can make a morning on the water less enjoyable. Many years ago, I started providing reusable water bottles with the Maine Outdoors logo. This served two purposes: helping to keep you hydrated and reducing the use of disposable plastic bottles.
I was pleased to be home mowing the lawn Saturday afternoon when I saw a thunderstorm building toward Camden and Rockland. We've had a few thundershowers in the last week, and at least twice they moved east to west, eventually soaking us here in Union. Thunderstorms in late June and early July are not unusual, but the east-to-west movement is unusual. Typically, our weather moves west to east.
