You can sit by the fire and read in the afterglow.  Or better yet, relax in the sunroom as colors evolve down the whole

length of Linekin Bay.  This is one of our favorite things to do, especially in winter when it can take more than an hour for the bright hues to completely fade.  Before we know it we are sitting there in the dark as lights twinkle from Cabbage Island and from across the bay, and perhaps Venus and the moon from above, and blend with the flickering glow from our fireplace into perfect calm.

We still have open at Seanook four nights coming up this season, October 20 – 23, 2013.  The best restaurants will be open.  Ports of Italy will serve through November 3.  That time of year you will be able to drive right onto the dock to park for McSeagull’s.  The pace is a bit slower and the attention a little warmer.
