We went to South Portland, Maine this morning on the way to pick up step-daughter from the airport.  This Fort Williams, which brings back a bunch of memories from the mid-70’s when I was stationed there on the SPAR and we would go there to have ship’s parties and our own parties.  The park is a lot cleaner today than it was then.  I have pictures from that time period of the same shots, maybe someday I will scan them and put them up side-by-side.

I used to love going between these two lights, it meant we were tied up in about 30 minutes.

The pictures of two buoys, anyone who served on a Coast Guard buoy tender understands why I took this picture.  David H. if you look at this this ones for you.

We didn’t have much time at Ft. Williams, but it sure did bring back a flood of memories.  Someday we will go back and actually wander around
