I spend my summer months sailing Frances out the ship channel along the Cape Elizabeth shore. Cliffy, green, with smooth pebbled beaches. My favorite is in fall when the light changes and we see more of the blue and the purple in the sea and in the sky. Colors similar to our deck as we scoot across the water without a sound.
