Summer`s not over, despite this photo of one of the first salt ships coming in to Granite State Minerals (or is it Morton?) on Aug. 17.
Get out there and grab the rest of these days (before the roads need their sodium chloride coating.)

🌊⛵️ THE ROUND ISLAND REGATTA IS BACK! ⛵️🌊
Tomorrow, Aug. 15, the Piscataqua gets a whole lot more colorful as sailors/paddlers/rowers (and spectators!) set out for the 16th Annual Round Island Regatta!
Expect boats, friendly competition, plenty of salty spirit—and costumes! This year’s 1776/Revolutionary War theme is encouraged, so keep your eyes peeled for some seriously creative crews.
Whether you’re on the water or watching from shore, it’s a quintessential Seacoast summer sight.

#DeckDay. Or, as overheard near @insideout_nh, “I’m headed to the docks!”
Hop aboard the @dutchtallship through Sunday. No reservation needed— @sailportsmouth has all the info.
Look out for pirates!

Have you been?
The Sheafe Warehouse, located at Shaw’s Wharf in Prescott Park, is a historic c. 1740 waterfront building that serves as the summer sister gallery for the New Hampshire Art Association (NHAA).
It features rotating, non-juried exhibits and original artwork by NHAA members.
We met Lindsey Lewis today. So nice!
