Damariscove Island is one of the most unique kayak destinations on the Maine coast. Visiting the historic island requires about 10 miles of paddling with little opportunity to land and negotiating a sometimes treacherous cluster of ledges called The Motions. So I waited for a good forecast to announce the trip. Due to early morning fog, we started late but the forecast held with light winds and partly sunny skies throughout. The Motions were unusually friendly and we had a remarkably successful outing.
