Column: Rounding the Swan

TIMES RECORD • September 11, 2020

When a friend Ken Gordon contacted me about a sea kayak trip circumnavigating Swans Island near Mount Desert Island, I didn’t have time for the four-day endeavor. Soudenly, tentative plans were canceled. Tax consulting deadlines extended. Essential chores postponed. Within 24 hours, I’d blocked off the requisite timeframe for the ambitious undertaking. Ours turned out to be a memorable voyage in one Maine’s most scenic coastal regions. ~ Ron Chase
