Sea smoke magestically swirls around Rockland galleon as Maine temps plummet to -12F

Imagine my surprise as I logged on today, to the popular online British newspaper The Daily Mail http://www.dailymail.co.uk/ to see Rockland Maine on their front page with a beautiful photo of the galleon ‘Raw Faith’ swirling in sea smoke.
