Martha Stewart: ‘Angry Mother Nature’ Leaves Maine Island Underwater [PHOTOS]

A massive storm has hit Mount Desert Island in Maine , leaving many streets, buildings, and houses underwater.

Food icon Martha Stewart has shared some photos showing the devastating aftermath that "Angry Mother Nature" left behind.

"This is, this is wild...It sounded like this but about ten times louder, and you could hear it moving all around the house and whistling and gusting," another Southwest Harbor resident, Charlotte Gill, said.

"I've lived here my whole life, and I've never seen the water up that high and then talking to others as well never seen that," Gill said.

Martha Stewart Shares Devastating Pics Of Mount Desert Island Underwater

The television personality and food star shared multiple photos on her social media page, which show the aftermath of a torrential storm that passed through Maine and left Mount Dessert Island completely flooded.

"Mount Desert Island ?, home of the beloved Acadia National Park has suffered a tremendous amount of flood and wind damage this week building[s] were ripped off foundations, beaches, and roads were washed away," Stewart said, adding, "and some of our favorite places were totally destroyed by an angry Mother Nature ."

As you may know, Martha Stewart has a property in Seal Harbor, Maine, which she purchased in 1977.

The author and businesswoman concluded by saying, "I pray that no one was personally injured, and I am so sorry for the loss of buildings and structures. I have owned my seal harbor home for thirty years and have never experienced so much devastation !!"

Officials have stated that the roads are expected to be closed for several days due to the tremendous amount of flooding.  The storm brought “unprecedented damage to property along Maine’s working waterfront” according to Patrick Keliher, commissioner of the Maine Department of Marine Resources.

Martha Stewart Shares Photo Of 'Serious Damage' Left By Storm

In a photo shared to her Instagram Story, Martha Stewart stated, "Seal Harbor Yacht Club in dire straits. Giant and brutal storm cause serious damage today."

The photo showed a tremendous amount of flooding that left the streets and part of buildings and homes underwater.

According to reports , the storm also hit Pemaquid Point, and waves were breaking over 20 feet. The storm caused major damage to the Pemaquid Point Lighthouse, an iconic landmark in Maine that was nearly 200 years old.

Plus, in a nearby area, several buildings were washed into the harbor.

Governor Janet Mills issued the State of Civil Emergency Thursday afternoon. “Significant rain, wind, and flooding have once again ravaged our state – this time our small communities up and down the coast," Mills said, adding, "The damage we are seeing is devastating, from working waterfronts to small businesses, to public roadways and more."

Another storm is forecasted to hit Maine on Saturday, which weathermen are predicted to be similar to the storm that hit earlier this week.

“Massive destruction on a proportion never seen”

Island and shore path take a beating.

BAR HARBOR—Bar Harbor’s famous Shore Path is closed.

After significant damage to the path in yesterday’s mammoth storm, the path has been cordoned off to protect the public and prevent further erosion. Wednesday’s storm brought gusts of over 75 mph in the Down East region, moved a camp out to sea, and caused damage to multiple roads and structures throughout Mount Desert Island. It also left more than 14,000 Versant customers without electricity.

Its impact in Bar Harbor was heavily felt with some still assessing damages today.

“This is massive destruction on a proportion never seen before on the Shore Path in my lifetime,” said  Bar Harbor Village Improvement Association President Dickie Cough. “It will take more money than we have to repair it all, so we will need to start raising money immediately.”

Massive portions of the path no longer exist. Nearby, the Bar Harbor Inn’s pier has a gawping hole in it. Damage to the Harborside Hotel and cruise ship tendering area and shops was also readily apparent as business owners assess damages.

But the Shore Path is a different beast. It’s part of Bar Harbor’s lure and its history. Less than a mile long one way, it’s a staple for visitors and a major place of vacation photos and memories.

The Bar Harbor Village Improvement Association keeps the publicly accessible path clean and groomed so that people can visit Frenchman’s Bay without leaving the land. The Shore Path begins at the Bar Harbor Inn or the town’s Ells Pier and ends at Wayman Lane. Different property holders own different portions of the path.

According to the association’s website,

”This lovely walking path was made possible by the VIA working with the landowners who generously sacrificed their privacy so the public could enjoy this amazing walk. In return, the VIA accepts the responsibility and costs for maintaining the path and seawall improvements. Please do respect their property and privacy while enjoying this gem. ”The Shore Path dates to 1880. The VIA has made significant improvements to the gravel surface and stone retaining walls. We also added stone benches in 2012 and historic informational panels in 2013. The section of path between Agamont Park and Grant Park was recently widened from three feet to six feet to better accommodate current foot traffic.”

Throughout the year, tourists and locals stroll and saunter around a little point of land and past the inn along a gravel path that hugs the coast line. Toward town in the spring, there will be wild roses, fences on private property in various states of repair.

“This is the fourth damaging storm this winter and we've already talked with Harold MacQuinn Inc. about assessing the damage and prioritizing repairs,” Cough said. “Weather will play a role as to when major repairs can get started, as it will be necessary to replace entire sections of seawall. It’s also apparent the existing height of the seawall is no longer sufficient to keep the storms off the path so that must be addressed, too.”

“The path is closed until further notice ,” Cough said.

The organization’s board issued the following statement:

“The Bar Harbor Shore Path is on land that is privately owned by the abutting landowners. They have for years generously allowed the use of their land. The Shore Path is maintained by the Bar Harbor Village Improvement Association. “In light of today’s storm and the significant damage which has occurred to the shore path from the Bar Harbor Inn to Wayman Lane, and with consideration to public safety, the BHVIA has closed all access points, from the Town Pier, from Grant Park and from Hancock Street and Wayman Lane. “We would ask the public that for everyone’s safety, this closure be respected until further notice.”

During the January 10, Comprehensive Planning Committee meeting, Town Council Chair Valerie Peacock mentioned the town’s need to deal with such events as the storm that can damage roads and other infrastructure.

“I think we need to start thinking differently,” Peacock said about “planning for a different future of resilience” in places like Ells Pier, which was pummeled by storm surge and damaged.

Maine DOT’s Director of Communications Paul Merrill said the DOT has been focused on resilience efforts in recent years because of the changing climate.

“Those efforts involve planning for higher sea-level rise and upsizing culverts,” he said. Some of those efforts are detailed on the DOT’s site.

The costs of cleaning up properties on public and private lands is still being determined.

BAR HARBOR ROUTE 3/HULLS COVE/OCEANARIUM/ACADIA

The Bar Harbor Oceanarium and Education Center near the head of the island had significant flooding, too. Private videos show deep water forming waves throughout the property. The Oceanarium is expected to release photos and a statement later today.

“It’s flooded,” said a staff member on the uploaded video.

Plow trucks removed debris that washed up in Hull’s Cove, blocking the roadway, Wednesday morning.

In Acadia National Park, Sand Beach was covered with water and waves crashed up the access stairs. Nearby, Thunder Hole was filled with water, large rocks were tossed onto the Park Loop Road and there was some erosion. The Schoodic portion of the park was also heavily impacted by storm surge combined with wind and tide.

Isle au Haut, part of Acadia National Park, experienced a 95-mph gust. 

The Tay , a schooner that wrecked in July 1911 and had been buried under sand dunes, came into the air on Wednesday after massive amounts of sand was washed away. Crew clung to the schooner’s mast during the storm that contributed to its sinking. One by one, they swam ashore, all surviving except for the cook, J. B. Whelpley.

As Acadia National Park’s website reads,

“The Tay quickly broke to pieces. Clinging on for dear life to the broken mast, the Tay’s crew waited till the tide went out so they could scramble to the safety of the sandy beach. The crew found refuge in the Satterlee Family’s summer home. A large portion of the Tay’s cargo, close to ninety thousand feet of spruce planks, was washed ashore by the waves. The lumber was salvaged by many local islanders as well as the Satterlee family, who built a boathouse with salvaged lumber to honor the shipwreck.”

Louise Satterlee was J.P. Morgan’s daughter.

The storm that did in the Tay also wrecked a catboat, pushing it up on Rodick Island. Another accounting of the wreck specified that its cargo was spruce shingles. According to the Bar Harbor Record, it was a southwest wind that broke the ninety-four feet long schooner that had been built in 1887.

SEAL HARBOR BEACH/LITTLE LONG POND AREA/ROUTE 3 AND OTHER ROADS

Route 3 by Little Long Pond in Mount Desert is closed. The sea wall was pounded down and swept both in and out during the storm.

Seawall in Southwest Harbor has closed.  Peabody Drive in Northeast Harbor was closed. Route 3 in the Thompson Island area was down to one lane.  

The Bernard wharf and dock had storm surge damage and is closed The Tremont Road in Tremont experienced serious flooding.

Seal Harbor Beach also did not fare well. The Rockefeller Boat House on Dodge Point Road had emergency response staging as a propane leak on the road necessitated attention. The road itself was shut down in sections.

According to the Schoodic Institute, “higher sea levels mean that storm waves and flooding are also higher. The worst case scenario of a storm arriving at the same time as a king tide occurred December 2022. A three-foot surge in water levels provided a glimpse of average sea level rises in the future.”

The water hit those marks on Wednesday.

SATURDAY’S STORM

Meteorologists predict another storm Saturday that also has high winds.

WHAT TO DO IF YOU HAVE DAMAGE

From the maine coast fisherman’s association:.

Earlier today, we shared that individuals and businesses whose working waterfront or fishing businesses were impacted by the recent storm should share those impacts and losses with their local municipality.  The response was so overwhelming that the Maine Emergency Management Agency has stepped in to help streamline the reporting process by providing an online survey to fill out  instead of calling your local town hall . "It is imperative that individuals of private industry and privately owned commercial infrastructure who sustained property damage from the January 10th storm, including wharfs, floats, vessels, etc. document and report that damage."  Commissioner Keliher (Department of Marine Resources) HOW TO REPORT DAMAGE  The online Initial Damage Assessment Survey can be found  HERE . This is not an application for assistance nor a guarantee of financial assistance. Submission of damage information will help the State of Maine understand the extent of damage from the January 10th storm.  Individuals who sustained damages to their primary residence are encouraged to document and report that damage by filling out the Individuals & Households Initial Damage Assessment Survey ( HERE ).  MCFA will be updating our website and Facebook with information and links. 

Contact Monique Coombs if you need assistance with the survey.  [email protected]

FROM THE MAINE DEPARTMENT OF MARINE RESOURCES

Yesterday's storm has resulted in unprecedented damage to property along Maine's working waterfront. DMR is working closely with Governor Mills and the Maine Emergency Management Agency as we assess the extent of the damage to Maine's coastline. DMR, with the support of the Maine Forest Service, will be conducting an aerial survey along the coast today, documenting the damage. It is imperative that individuals with damaged property from yesterday's storm, including wharfs, floats, vessels, etc. document that damage, share that information with their local municipality, and ask their municipality to report documented damage to the appropriate  Maine county emergency management agency .  Please share this information with anyone on Maine's working waterfront who may have experienced damage from this storm. In the meantime, please be aware of areas along the coast, both on land and on the water, where there may be hazards as a result of yesterday's storm and proceed with caution. Also, please note that we have a similar storm coming this weekend with an even higher tide, so it’s clear that additional preparations will be needed.    DMR will continue to evaluate this situation and will communicate updates from the Governor's office and from  MEMA  as efforts to recover from this storm move forward.

NEEDS YOUR HELP

If you have still images of the storm, please think of sending them to the MDI Historical Society. It needs your help. The Society is looking for images from the storm  for a project  they are doing with the Schoodic Institute on sea level change. They are particularly looking for images from today from the head of the island, Bass Harbor marsh, and Seal Cove/Pretty Marsh areas. Please send to [email protected] with info about when the image was taken/where the image was taken/who took the image.

Weather | 18-foot waves pummel piers, chunk out sand and flood parking lots along Southern California coast

Big waves – some topping 18 feet in Los Angeles County – wreaked havoc on Friday, Jan. 6, as high tides and a winter swell continued to work over the Southern California coastline leading to beach erosion, pier closures, crumbled asphalt parking lots and boats torn from their docks.

In the South Bay, piers at three west-facing beaches remained closed Friday as waves more than 15 feet tall pummeled the structures.

In Seal Beach, high surf and wind pummeled the pier, and officials decided to “temporarily close it in an abundance of caution.” Part of the boat ramp used by oil platform workers was damaged. (Photo by Mark Rightmire, Orange County Register/SCNG)

Additionally, the high surf and tide surge swamped a block jetty at Cabrillo Beach in San Pedro, flooding and closing the nearby parking lot. Mounds of sand buried a bike path that runs from Torrance Beach to Avenue H in Redondo Beach and sea water flooded into a parking lot and public bathroom facility.

In King Harbor, massive waves overwhelmed a breakwater jetty and ate into the asphalt parking lot nearby.

“There were 15-foot-plus waves breaking directly onto the rocks at Redondo Harbor,” said Lifeguard Capt. A.J. Lester, a spokesman for Los Angeles County’s Fire and Lifeguard Division. “The parking lot is built on the rocks of the breakwater and the pressure caused the asphalt to break apart like it was an earthquake.”

The piers at Hermosa Beach, Manhattan Beach and Venice Beach were closed in an “abundance of caution” because of the strong west-northwest swell, which crashed surf over the top of the structures. It arrived Thursday along with the rainstorm and was expected to last through Friday, coinciding with a period of high tides.

The piers will remain closed until city crews assess the structures to ensure they haven’t been compromised, likely a day or two, said Capt. Kealiinohopono Barnes, also with the Los Angeles County division.

“It’s a question of stability after such a prolonged force from the waves,” he said. “The beaches there will remain open, but there is a water quality advisory all through Santa Monica Bay.”

In Seal Beach, high surf and wind pummeled the pier, and officials decided to “temporarily close it in an abundance of caution” and to allow for inspection, the city announced Friday. Part of the boat ramp used by oil platform workers was damaged. No timeline for reopening was given.

Crews from the Orange County Fire Authority and Seal Beach Public Work’s Department built sand berms to reinforce the beach. OCFA heavy equipment crews were also busy Friday digging and draining water from the north side of the pier to prevent seawater from entering any structures and homes.

Surf off Manhattan Beach at El Porto hit as high as 18 feet, though other areas of county shore were more manageable.

“We’ve had considerable erosion,” Barnes said of the waves that ate at the sand. “We’ve lost so much in a short timeframe.”

In Laguna Beach, high waves tore down parts of a sea wall at a home in North Laguna, flooded the coastal side of Coast Highway and Broadway, damaged the foundation of a lifeguard tower at Oak Street leaving it tilting toward the surf zone and tore off railing and staircase steps at Woods and Moss beaches.

Aliso Beach’s parking lot was temporarily shut Friday after flooding, but its east side was opened later in the day. The west side of the lot remained closed while crews continue to clear debris. Officials expected work to continue Saturday.

In Capistrano Beach, the parking lot was also closed most of Friday, but reopened by the end of the day.

Lifeguards caution that though the waves might look tempting for surfers, those who go out

should be sure of their abilities. Especially in the next few days, as the surf declines, the water may appear more welcoming, but the threat of rip currents will be greater – especially along the South Bay beaches where the sea floor has gotten carved up more from all the turbulence and wave action.

“That’s when we see a lot of rescues, because the rip currents get really strong and people get caught in them,” Barnes said.

Water quality is also a concern after rain storms, which can wash inland runoff with pollutants and debris to the ocean. Officials typically advise staying out of the water for 72 hours after a storm. On Friday, Orange County health officials were recommending staying out of the water until at least Monday.

Mount Desert Island

Off the beaten path, northeast harbor and seal harbor offer quieter charms.

The home of Acadia National Park , which draws more than two million visitors a year, Mount Desert Island is the most popular destination in Maine. A place of dramatic natural beauty, what locals call MDI is divided roughly in half by Somes Sound , a deep, fjord-like body of water extending five miles inland from the Atlantic coastline. The western or “quiet” side of MDI includes the towns of Southwest Harbor and Tremont, with the village of Bass Harbor at its southern tip. The larger, eastern side includes the main entrance to the park, Cadillac Mountain , and the town of Bar Harbor , which teems with visitors in the warmer months. Not far away are the quieter communities of Northeast Harbor and Seal Harbor , both part of the town of Mount Desert. Here, elegant summer homes can be glimpsed along leafy lanes and classic sailing yachts bob at their moorings.

Real estate broker, hospitality investor, and music producer Kim Swan has called Bar Harbor home for most of her life. The owner of the Swan Agency Sotheby’s International Realty , which has offices in Bar Harbor, Northeast Harbor, and Blue Hill, Swan is a devoted member of the MDI community, involved in local initiatives ranging from television and film projects to animal rescue. “Mom” to two Yorkies, Ava and Izzi, she often walks her pups on Acadia’s private carriage roads reached from Seal Harbor. “During the high season you may have to stand aside while one of the gorgeous horse-drawn carriages goes by—that’s a treat for visitors,” Swan says.

Swan also likes to take friends to the charming village of Northeast Harbor, known by sailors for its protected anchorage. “Our first stop is my friend Erika Wibby Mitchell’s shop, Main Street Mercantile ,” Swan says. Across the street, Shaw Jewelry has unusual pieces and paintings by a variety of artisans, and lunch is often at the grand and historic Asticou Inn , where the menu includes the same popovers made famous at the Jordan Pond House in Acadia National Park . And no visit to the area would be complete without a hike. “Our favorite is Day Mountain—you can either follow the carriage roads to the top or take the path,” says Swan. “Either way the views are fantastic, especially in the fall with all of the colors.”

Population 10,424

Did you know At 108 square miles, Mount Desert Island is the largest island in Maine and the second largest on the eastern seaboard, topped only by Long Island in New York.

Local icon The well-known and well-heeled have called MDI at least their part-time home since the days of J.P. Morgan and the Vanderbilts. Today, the island’s biggest celebrity is Martha Stewart, whose sprawling stone retreat, Skylands, perches above Seal Harbor.

Big waves pummel coastline, force Seal Beach pier closure in aftermath of storm

LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- Massive waves continued to pound the beaches and piers of Southern California on Friday a day after a powerful storm exited the region.

The big surf forced the closure of the Seal Beach Pier, where large chunks of wood could be seen floating underneath the structure.

Damage to the pier included a boat ramp used by oil-platform workers. City officials will need to assess the structure before they can determine when the pier could be reopened.

In the meantime, big crowds gathered along the shoreline to watch the spectacle, not just in Seal Beach but in ocean communities throughout Southern California.

"This is the biggest South Bay (waves) we've seen probably ever since I was 10 years old," said Hunter Jones of Manhattan Beach.

The high surf advisories for Los Angeles and Orange counties are expected to remain in effect until 6 p.m. Friday.

Forecasters were expecting waves of 8-10 feet, with some even hitting 12 feet.

In the aftermath of a major winter storm, waves on Friday morning were soaring over a 20-foot break wall at Redondo Beach.

"Today was actually one of the first times in 20 years that we were confronted with this amount of storm surge that's breaking significantly over the break wall -- 40 feet, if I had to guess," said one beach visitor.

At Redondo Beach's King Harbor Yacht club, the waves were big enough to flood the parking lot while also slamming into a retainer wall. A marina employee said the damage will be expensive to repair.

Many people turned out to witness the giant waves as they pummeled beaches in the South Bay.

"I just love seeing the spray, the water," said a woman who visited El Porto Beach. "It's almost like seeing clouds floating in the water. It's crazy."

The conditions at that beach were described as unfavorable for even experienced surfers.

Latest forecast for Southern California

In Ventura County, docked boats were seen being rocked and swayed by the storm waves.

Friday's relatively calm weather conditions were a lull that was expected to be brief as more Pacific storms lined up to blast into California, where successive powerful weather systems have knocked out power to thousands, battered the coastline, flooded streets, toppled trees and caused at least six deaths.

"A very active weather pattern across the Pacific Ocean will continue to push energetic and fast-moving low pressure systems toward the West Coast," the National Weather Service said. "California continues to take the brunt of the heavy precipitation and strong winds associated with these systems as we head into the first full weekend of 2023."

A guide to Indian Lake, hammered by Thursday's storms

The Indian Lake area of Ohio was torn by storms Thursday night . Here's a guide to the lake:

Where is Indian Lake?

Indian Lake is in Logan County, about 70 miles northwest of Columbus.

How big is Indian Lake?

The lake is about 5,100 acres, making it the third largest lake in Ohio, behind Grand Lake St. Marys (13,500 acres) in Auglaize and Mercer counties and Mosquito Creek Lake (7,850 acres) in Trumbull County, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. In addition, Pymatuning Reservoir, which straddles Ohio and Pennsylvania, covers 14,000 acres.

Is Indian Lake natural?

Indian Lake is man-made. According to the ODNR , it began in 1851 as "Old Indian Lake," a feeder lake for the Miami & Erie Canal. A bulkhead completed in 1860 allowed the lake, then called Lewiston Reservoir, to grow to more than 6,300 acres. Although Indian Lake is very shallow, with an average depth of 6 feet, it has largely been spared the algae that has stained other Ohio lakes because of the Indian Lake Watershed Project, established in the 1990s to keep the water clean.

How many people live on Indian Lake?

About 1,300 people live in the lake's largest town, Russells Point, and another 1,200 live down the road in Lakeview, both on the lake's southern shore. Hundreds more live around the lake, many of them in seasonal trailer parks and campgrounds, making the area vulnerable to storms.

What is Indian Lake best known for?

For decades, an amusement park and dance halls along the lake's southern rim drew visitors from miles around and provided the lake's nickname, the "Midwest's Million Dollar Playground." The last bits of the amusement park were torn down in the early 1980s; only the I ndian Lake Rollarena in Russells Point provides a hint of the lake's entertainment past.

Was the 1960s hit "Indian Lake" about this lake?

No. The Cowsills' 1968 Top 10 hit "Indian Lake" is thought to be based on a lake in Upstate New York.

What is housing like around Indian lake?

Much of Indian Lake's homes remain trailers in campgrounds, especially on the north and west sides of the lake. But a growing number of large new homes have been built on the lake this century, especially on the lake's multiple islands and eastern shore. Many of the older, modest homes still sell under $100,000, but newer homes can command more than half a million dollars. The lake's real-estate landed it a spot on the HGTV shows "Island Life" and "Island Hunters."

What impact did the storms have on the lake's state park?

The ODNR has closed Indian Lake State Park, on the west side of the lake, until further notice. "ODNR staff and other emergency crews will assess the impact of the storm and reevaluate the status of the park later today," the department posted Friday . The 8,400-acre park is one of Ohio's four original state parks, created in 1949.

Boat and Ship Yard News

Dec 12, 2022

They have already started another boat at John’s Bay Boat Co. in South Bristol. She will be a 47-foot pleasure boat and should be completed the end of the next year. This is a view of the stem in the foreground with the keel right in the center. In the back right corner is the horn timber and transom all framed up.

Front Street Shipyard in Belfast is working on the 136-foot sailing yacht ABIDE. They are doing a complete overhaul of her, which will be completed in 2023.

Ellis Boat, Manset, ME

        Underway in the shop they have an Ellis 36 Express Cruiser under construction. Shane Ellis said, “It seems to be the model that people really want as we have been building it for a while now, since the late 90s. We have every iteration of the 36-footer out there, but the Express Cruiser has a really nice cabin layout, a great two-person boat. They have got a V-berth, a full shower, head, nice galley, and a place for a couple to sit in the galley. It didn’t have this before, it used to have a really big galley. We shortened up the galley and created a little place to sit. She also has our canter lever seats with fold-out tables in the shelter. That provides great access to the engine (a 440-hp Yanmar) while still having lots of seating.”

        This boat is about fifty percent complete. She was started last summer after they sold one that was in their charter fleet. When this summer wound down, they have been working hard to get her finished for next summer so she can be chartered. Shane added, “This is the third one I have built for the charter fleet and the other two have sold. One of them didn’t even make a single charter. The other one chartered for a couple years before it sold. It is a good setup for us for right now. It is nice to have a new Ellis 36 in the charter fleet. However, I just posted it for sale online and if somebody comes along and buys it in the next month or so then it won’t have any charter obligations for next year, but I will start booking charters with it, come the New Year.”

        All the fall hauling has been completed and they have just less than 50 boats in storage for the winter, with more than enough work on them to keep them busy until next summer. They mostly store their own boats, but with the charter fleet that has expanded to including a Hinckley Talaria, a Hinckley Picnic boat, a Back Cove 41, and a Wilbur 38. Most of the boats in the charter fleet are 36 feet or bigger, but they do offer an Ellis 28, but they consider this a day boat or an overnighter.

        Having the charter aspect this gives the workers different work in the summer keeping the boats looking and running great. They also do some training for those not familiar with running a boat like this.

        Shane did say that they have a few engine replacements to do, some switching from gas to diesel and another going from a sterndrive to outboards. Then there is another few getting electronic upgrades. It will be a busy winter.

Front Street Shipyard,   Belfast

        Hauling up boats for the winter has been in full swing for several months and the end is getting near. The herring seiner WESTERN WAY was in the slings of the giant travel-lift and having her bottom cleaned. There was still another couple that were due in to be hauled up for the winter. Also on the way are three whale watching boats, ACADIA EXPLORER, FRIENDSHIP V and BAY KING. They are actually going to do a lot of paint work on FRIENDSHIP V. They are presently at Billings Diesel & Marine in Stonington for engine work and once this is completed, they will make their way to Front Street to be hauled up for the winter. There is a lot of work to do on these boats, mostly plating and painting.

        The 136-foot sailing yacht ABIDE is still in undergoing a major refit. She is the x-ISLANDIA built by Jongert of the Netherlands in 2002. They have already done a lot of work on the interior and exterior of this yacht. JB Turner, part owner of the yard said, “We are working on putting on new toe rails, the hull is painted, the decks and mast are painted. The decks will start going on pretty soon, then interior joinery modifications and then mechanical/electrical/electronics will go on until the day she leaves.”

        In another bay they have a Mussel Ridge 46, which they are finishing off as a split-wheelhouse lobster boat for a fisherman from Kittery. The interior is simple and she is powered with a 735-hp John Deere diesel. The platform is down and the top is on. They are now working on the platform. She should be heading out later this winter/spring.

        Right behind her is a Mussel Ridge 42, which is being finished out as a sport cruiser. She is not as complete as they have just started putting in the structure under the platform.

        Soon their first New Harbor 28 will be coming in to be finished.

        Still awaiting their arrival is a Little Harbor 55 power boat which will be getting full deck paint and a boat under construction at S. W. Boatworks in Lamoine will be coming over for a full paint job.

        Already work is lining up for next spring, summer, and fall. One boat will be coming for new teak decks, generator, and hull paint.

        The waterjet is busy and could get crazy busy if all the proposed work happens. Fresh Water Stone is bidding on a home on Martha’s Vineyard and that is a big project and couple that with work from Kenway and several artists it looks like a busy time ahead.

H & H Marine, Steuben, ME

        In the layup shop they are working on an Osmond 29 for a customer from Massachusetts. They have blocked out the keel as she will be fitted with twin outboards. They will be partially finishing this one.

        Next, they will be laying up a standard Osmond 42 for James Thurlow.

        In the finish shop they are nearing completion on an Osmond 40 split wheelhouse lobster boat for a fisherman from Southern Maine. She is spartan below, just a couple of stiffeners, and is powered with a 750-hp John Deere.

        Another Osmond 40 is in the finish shop and she will be a sport fishing boat with full accommodations (berths, galley, and head). She is powered with a 600-hp Cummins.

        There are several repair jobs scheduled for the winter. A Dixon 53 went down and she is going to have all her wiring, hydraulics and electronics replaced. An Osmond 36 suffered extensive damage in a storm and she is almost ready to go out after a lot of glass work and cosmetics being done.

        As for future work they are bidding on a 50-foot ferry boat for a customer from Rhode Island.

John’s Bay Boat Company, South Bristol, ME

        The cover photograph of the last issue of Maine Coastal News had the newest launch from John’s Bay Boat Co., which was the 47-foot lobster boat SECOND WIND for Chris Klemenz of Stonington. Peter Kass added, “She is 47 x 14, which is very narrow by today’s standards, but the whole idea was economy. We built the KHRISTY MICHELLE; I don’t know about 10 years ago for Chris’ uncle John Williams and she’s 44 x 14. That boat was built with the idea of being efficient and she is proving out to be an all-around good boat. In the 44, instead of having your $100,000+ engine, 800 hp+ John has a 450 hp 9-liter Cummins, cheap to buy, cheap to maintain, quieter and cheap to feed. Chris took the boat home from here, fueled her up, hauled through his gear three days, and he said for 102 gallons. John has told me the most he has pushed through his in a day was 60. She looks a little different because it is the same molds but they are 4 inches further apart. John’s bow looks fuller, but when you stretch things out it eases the shape so they look a little different but it is the same design.”

        SECOND WIND has a 7-inch-thick keel, which is what you need when you are going to have a 2½-inch shaft. The frames are 1½ x 2-inches and the planking is 1¼-inch cedar. She is setup to swing a 34-inch wheel so she’s a little deeper. She is powered with a 550-hp 9-liter John Deere and does 21 knots wide open and cruise 15 knots. Because the family likes to do some weekend cruising she has four berths, galley with a sink and propane stove, a settee for four and a small work bench.

        Next is another 47 x 14-footer of the same design, but this one is a pleasure boat for a customer from Westport, Massachusetts, so Peter added tumblehome and changed the shaft angle because the engine is further back. As for accommodations the owner and his designer are working on that, but she will have berths forward, maybe an enclosed stateroom aft to one side.

        They had some repair worked lined up, but for various reasons this has vaporized and they will concentrate on getting the new boat finished for a late fall, early winter launch next year.

        They are also down a crew member following the launch, who decided to leave and work with someone doing free-lance wooden boat repairs in the Rockland area. Peter said this person had been working for him for six and a half years and really caught on quickly. He is hoping he may return at some point, but until that time he is looking for someone with woodworking experience to fill in.

Wilbur Yachts,  Manset, ME

        Inside the main shop is the 21-foot runabout PINNACLE. They just did a major refit, which included going through the engine, paint, and varnish. This boat was built by James Anthony in up-state New York back in the 1980s. John Kachmar thought he had built 13 of the 21s and 9 of the 27s. Unfortunately, he passed away in the 1990s and did not know what happened to the tooling. She is powered with an I/O and is a 43-plus knot cruising boat. John said at that speed you can speak normally and others will have no trouble hearing you. He added, “It is a fun, fast little boat.”

        Just off her bow is a 19-foot Boston Whaler that is in for her annual maintenance and presently she was having her bottom painted. They will completely go through the boat and make sure she is ready for next season before putting her in storage as they await the arrival of a Wilbur 34 coming from Staten Island, New York. Ten years ago, she went through Hurricane Sandy and had sunk at her dock. She was totaled by the insurance company and then bought back by her owners who brought to Wilbur Yachts to be totally refurbished. She is returning to Wilbur’s and will be looking for a new owner.

        Also in the main shop is LAURIE ANN, a Wilbur 34 extended flybridge cruiser, but she is in for annual maintenance. Just behind her is SEA DRAGON, a teak sided open 34, also in for maintenance and some cosmetic work. The bottom has been painted and the varnish is done. Next to her is a Wilbur 38 cruiser that has been undergoing a major refit for the past several years. She was launched last summer and the owner got to use her. She had been repowered and she topped out at 25 knots. This year she is getting all new canvas from Black Pearl Canvas to cover the bright work as she will heading to Florida next year. She is also getting more electronics.

        Out back they have the Seal Harbor Launch, a Crosby 21, in for maintenance and repairs to some scratches and scrapes. An Ellis 28 has a number of items to do, one being new electronics. A Navy whale boat launch was converted to electric power about five years ago. She has eight 8D batteries to a 20-kW electric drive. An Edgewater 24 and a 28 Key West Ballistic are both in for general maintenance. A Wilbur 38 will be coming in to have her overhead replaced. Several 420s from the Seal Harbor Yacht Club are in and waiting for their annual maintenance as are several Newman dinghies.

How Our 6 Step Quality Restoration Process Works

The Best In Water Removal And Drying

When it comes to water restoration, specialists, such as Action 1 Restoration in Moscow , should be contacted immediately to ensure that water is properly removed and dried out from the affected areas of your home. We can send our team to your location to access the situation and prevent any additional damage from occurring. Any damage to the structure of your home and your belongings will be increased when they are in contact with water for longer periods of time. Our water restoration efforts will produce the best results because of our process, training and usage of commercial grade equipment.

The equipment that we will need to use for your business or home will be determined by the amount of water that's currently in it, and the temperature of the water. Air blowers and dryers will be used to dry your home once all the water has been removed successfully. Additionally, we use moisture meters and infrared cameras to do a final check for moisture and hidden pockets of water.

Water removal and drying involves going through the following steps:

• All areas that have been affected will be inspected by a specialist to determine how much damage has been done.
• After the damage assessment, water removal will begin immediately with our experts. Mildew, mold, and bacteria growth will occur in standing water, which is why we'll place a high priority on water extraction.
• The team utilizes large fans and dehumidifiers to remove moisture in the air.
• Any water that may be hidden in pockets is detected with the use of thermal imaging equipment.
• We'll use moisture meters and other special tools to monitor the air humidity once the rooms have been properly dried.

After flood or water damage has occurred, there is almost always more that needs to be addressed beyond simply what can be seen on the ground. There may be pockets of water in the baseboards and walls that can't be seen, and we have the tools to find these pockets. In Moscow, we make sure that we, along with our partners, have the tools to quickly dry out your home. At Action 1 Restoration, we are ready to take care of your restoration service needs at any time of the day.

MOUNT DESERT — Thick fog could not keep sailors from coming out in force last week for the annual Seal Harbor Regatta hosted by the yacht club there.

“We’ve gone through a bit of an evolution with the regatta,” Seal Harbor Yacht Club (SHYC) Commodore Stefan Cushman said. “It’s gone more island-wide, and we try to keep it a fun regatta, so participation was up quite a bit despite the weather conditions.”

This year’s races included Mercury, Bullseye and Optimists classes on a course just outside Seal Harbor. Mercury and Bullseye races were an intergenerational affair, Cushman said. “Some boats had an adult and kids and some had all kids who are more advanced sailors.”

Skipper Cece Gray and crew Winn Irwin, Addison Gray and Vernon Gray Jr. were the Mercury winners, sailing VA Reel. Lucas and Simon Clark in Alley Cat were runners-up in the race, which had six boats on the line.

Purple Cow came in first of four in the Bullseye class, with skipper Sarah Neilson and crew Hanna Newhall and Annie Nielson. Captain Lund and Eleanor Rogers sailing Island Girl were runners-up.

Jamie Slater of SHYC was the winner in the Optimist class. Isabela Cushman was runner-up.

Turbo 420 racing was held out in the Great Harbor near the float where those boats are stored, Cushman said. Bar Harbor Yacht Club sailing instructor and Mount Desert Island High School sailor Kincaid MacCulloch took first place. Connor Ratcliffe, instructor at MDI Community Sailing Center and high school team member, came in second. Third went to Ryder Henry of the Northeast Harbor Sailing School.

International One-Designs (IOD) and Luders classes sailed the Seal Harbor Yacht Club pursuit race for the O’Brien Cup, a gold two-handled trophy that was first won in 1949 by Nelson Rockefeller sailing his IOD Queen Mary.

Philip Crain got that honor this year, sailing Dark Star to a photo finish victory over second place Jack Roberts in Woodie.

“Thick fog and a light breeze kept the racing inside the Cranberry Islands and almost cancelled the event this year,” principal race officer Fran Charles said. “Sailors started in a 3-5 knot SE wind from Gilpatrick Cove and headed out to Spurling Rock between Sutton and Cranberry. As they approached the big red flashing buoy, the wind entirely quit. With sails slack, all of the sailboats just drifted in the ebbing current.”

Quick puffs of wind benefited a few boats at a time. Wells and Mary Bacon in their Luders Mary Jane , David Rockefeller in his yellow Caribou and Jack Roberts in Woodie each briefly held the lead.

“Just as the fleet of 12 boats was approaching the finish line, the wind quit again,” Charles said. “ Dark Star helmed by Philip Crain went around the boats which were becalmed in the middle of the harbor to win the race by a half-length over Woodie .”

'We did not reject them': Putin says African plan could be basis for peace, but elements 'difficult or impossible'

Vladimir Putin has been speaking about the African peace initiative at a press conference after meeting African leaders in St Petersburg, where they have been pressing him to move ahead with their peace plan.

Putin says the African proposal could be a basis for peace in Ukraine, but that Ukrainian attacks made it hard to realise.

“There are provisions of this peace initiative that are being implemented,” he said. “But there are things that are difficult or impossible to implement.”

Putin says that one of the points in the initiative was a ceasefire. “But the Ukrainian army is on the offensive, they are attacking, they are implementing a large-scale strategic offensive operation... We cannot cease fire when we are under attack.”

On the question of starting peace talks, he said, “We did not reject them... In order for this process to begin, there needs to be agreement on both sides.”

Volodymyr Zelenskiy has rejected the idea of a ceasefire now that would leave Russia in control of nearly a fifth of his country and give its forces time to regroup after 17 grinding months of war. Moscow has long argued it is open to dialogue but Kyiv would have to accept its “new territorial realities”.

Moscow buildings damaged by drone attacks, one injured – Russian officials

More on the report of the drone attacks in Moscow.

Russia’s state news agency Tass sent an update saying a security guard was injured in the attacks, citing emergency officials.

Russia’s defence ministry said a Ukrainian drone was destroyed in the air over the Odintsovo district and two others crashed in Moscow, according to Tass, and the attack prompted a temporary closure of one of four airports around the Russian capital.

The city’s mayor, Sergei Sobyanin, posted on Telegram that the “facades of two city office towers were slightly damaged”. He added that there were “no victims or injured”.

There is still no comment from Kyiv. It’s the latest in a series of recent drone assaults – including on the Kremlin and Russian towns near the border with Ukraine – that Moscow has blamed on Kyiv.

Tass reported that the capital’s Vnukovo airport was “closed for departures and arrivals, flights are redirected to other airports”. Within less than an hour, operations appeared to return to normal.

Welcome back to our live coverage of the war in Ukraine . This is Christine Kearney with the latest.

Our top stories this morning:

A night-time drone attack on Moscow damaged two office blocks, the mayor of the Russian capital said early Sunday. A security guard was injured, Russia’s state news agency Tass reported, citing emergency officials.

“Ukrainian drones attacked tonight. Facades of two city office towers were slightly damaged,” Moscow mayor Sergei Sobyanin posted on Telegram.

Kyiv is yet to comment, but Ukraine typically declines to claim responsibility for attacks on Russia. The Kremlin has accused Ukraine of a series of drone attacks on its territory in recent months, including a drone strike on the Kremlin.

Meanwhile, Russian president Vladimir Putin said on Saturday that an African initiative could be a basis for peace in Ukraine, but that Ukrainian attacks made it hard to realise.

Speaking at a press conference after meeting African leaders in St Petersburg, he said there are provisions of the peace initiative that are being implemented, “but there are things that are difficult or impossible to implement”.

More on these stories shortly. Elsewhere:

A group of 100 mercenaries from the Russian Wagner group moved closer to the Belarusian city of Grodno near the Polish border, the Polish prime minister, Mateusz Morawiecki, said, raising fears of a potentially “dangerous” situation. Poland and Lithuania are considering closing their respective borders with Belarus amid concerns over the Wagner group.

Kyrylo Budanov, the head of the main intelligence directorate of Ukraine’s defence ministry, raised the prospect of Ukrainian forces “soon” entering Crimea in an effort to retake the peninsula annexed by Russia in 2014. Crimea has been subject to attacks in recent weeks – including an explosion which damaged the Kerch Bridge two weeks ago.

The UN secretary-general, António Guterres, has criticised Russia’s “handful of donations [of grain] to some countries” which he said does not offset the consequences of the end of the Black Sea initiative.

South African president, Cyril Ramaphosa, called for the reopening of the Black Sea grain initiative at a summit with Russian president, Vladimir Putin.

Saudi Arabia plans to host talks next weekend to discuss a path towards peace in Ukraine , convening representatives from Kyiv, western powers and developing countries, officials said. Russia will not attend the meeting in the Red Sea coastal city of Jeddah.

Ukrainian soldiers have been observed firing North Korean rockets that they said were seized by a “friendly” country before being delivered to Ukraine, it was reported.

A Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant engineer has been held illegally by Russia since his “abduction” last month and is being subjected to torture, the Ukrainian state nuclear energy company claimed.

Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, visited Ukrainian troops in “advanced positions” near the eastern Bakhmut frontline.

A Russian rocket attack killed one civilian and injured five more in the north-eastern city of Sumy late on Saturday, Ukraine’s interior ministry said . Ukraine’s national police posted video on Telegram showing one person being carried away in a stretcher.

Unesco representatives arrived in Odesa to assess the damage to cultural and religious sites caused by Russian strikes on 19 to 23 July.

Ukraine’s energy minister says he is confident Ukraine will keep lights on this winter. German Galushchenko did not give details, but said the country was adding power in ways it had never done before
