PHOTO GALLERY: Maine Windjammer Photo Contest Part Three

"Fun at Sea"credit: Curt Watts

PEOPLE CATEGORY WINNERS

Always a tough category, we chose two winning photographs that capture the joy of windjamming...albeit in two very different ways!

SCENICS CATEGORY WINNER

This was a nearly impossible category to fill because we had so many amazing images to choose from. We all know how exciting it is to be on a windjammer, but we chose Bernadette’s photo because it captures the fun of getting off a windjammer! At the end of the day, or first thing in the morning, guests often have a chance to go ashore and explore. And what a magical anchorage this is!

FOOD CATEGORY WINNER
In the past we’ve featured lobsters, donuts, cakes and pies, but this year, salad never looked so good! Bon Appetit!

Yes, Virginia, we do have puffins! Kudos to Ed Demellier who captured this fleeting photo of a “Clown of the Sea.”

START OF THE DAY CATEGORY WINNERS
We tend to focus on sunsets, but this year's winning photos were coincidentally all shot at sunrise. So much beauty before breakfast!
