Description
I was definitely at the right place at the right time! I was sailing up the coast of Maine with my husband. Our final destination was Mount Desert Island and specifically Somes Sound where we would meet up with our life long friends. Last year, Bass Harbor Lighthouse was completely fogged in and I couldn't see it at all. I was very disappointed, but this year was an entirely different situation. Not only could I see Bass Harbor Lighthouse, but I could see a beautiful Hinkley Yacht and the Safe Water Marker. While setting up this shot, a beautiful bright red Hinkley Yacht came screaming through. How perfect I thought. I have a red and white lighthouse, a red and and white safety water marker and a red and white yacht! So perfect! Now that I am home and editing these photos from our journey, I am able to look up the name of the yacht and learn more about her! This is the famous Sea Smoke Hinkley Talaria 55 owned by the late David Rockefeller! The Rockefellers are slightly famous up this way and are honestly, so kind and generous! Since sweet David passed away in 2017 at the ripe age of 102, he obviously doesn't own the boat anymore, but perhaps his family still retains ownership of Sea Smoke! I had seen him on his carriage with his adorable Morgan Horses around Little Long Pond a few years before he passed away. He was a very friendly but private man. I wish that he could see this photo of his amazing yacht in this amazing scenery. Maybe one of the Rockefellers will see it and think about all the great times they had making memories on this iconic yacht.
