We decided to take a “shortcut” from Old Orchard Beach to Kennebunkport, where we would set sail with a whale watching expedition. In fact, we ended up adding 30 minutes to our trip and just made it by check-in time. It was cold and windy on the boat (Jen layered one sweater over another) and [...]
