Weather Wise
If you don’t like the weather, wait a minute. Coastal Maine weather is unpredictable. If the weather for your trip looks unsatisfactory, do not be discouraged as the forecast could easily change. Bring plenty of layers and don’t forget your rain jacket. Even if the day proves to be rainy, I think you’ll find it quite beautiful.
