Portland



This morning we find ourselves in Portland, Maine. Yesterday we met up at JFK airport after Biff got to see Joe Namath throwing a football in the terminal (video below). We then boarded our flight to Portland, and had some great views of the rocky coast as we landed. When we had this photo taken by a Jetblue employee named Mary, she began asking about our trip and was very excited to have met her first real All-You-Can-Jetters. After catching the tail end of this incredible Maine sunset, we promptly purchased some beer and spent the evening getting to know the friends of our host, Jason Olmested. In addition to his human friends, his social circle includes multiple fish, two cats and an infant hermanns tortoise, all of whom were happy to meet us. Photos of late-night homemade pizza will be up soon.



As for now, we plan to go for a morning run along the eastern seaboard, followed by an exploration of Portland and hopefully an afternoon sail. We both have confidence in our sailboat hitchhiking/sweet-talking abilities, so with any luck we will be braving the Atlantic ocean in just a few hours.

1 Day down, 29 remain. Total time spent in the sky: Three Hours, fifty one minutes.
