Bayliner Discovery's new Maine Island Trail adventure (www.iamdiscovery.com) is like coming home for those who love misty New England

mornings and the scent of saltwater spray. Join National Geographic Adventure Magazine Contributing Editor and renowned kayaker, Jon

Bowermaster, as he and his buddy, Bruce Alter, take the helm of a Bayliner Discovery 288 Cruiser. Get ready to experience the people,

the food and the captivating beauty of coastal Maine.
During their voyage, Bowermaster and Alter travel from Portland to Bar Harbor, cruising by Jewell Island and Eagle Island, the former

residence of Arctic explorer Admiral Robert Peary. They witness lobstermen bringing in fresh catch to the docks in Cundy's Harbor, visit

Pemaquid Point and camp overnight on Basin Island. The pair stops by J.O. Brown and Sons boat builders, in operation since 1888, and

the restored Stonington Opera House. Along the way, Bowermaster seizes the opportunity for a foggy afternoon kayaking trip in Goose

Cove. "The freedom of boating lets you make your own rules - and then break them on a whim," says Bowermaster. "The only steadfast

rule is to follow your spirit of adventure."With the unveiling of the first of three Maine Island Trail webisodes about the journey at

www.iamdiscovery.com, Bayliner Discovery lures you into an affair with nature. The Discovery 288 Cruiser - a best-in-class, two-level mini

yacht - captained by Bowermaster is one of Bayliner Discovery's new line of runabouts, cuddys and cruisers. "The bridge helm triggered an

incredible feeling of expansiveness, while the cabin's second helm and huge windows gave us protection from the elements without

sacrificing our enjoyment of the scenery," says Bowermaster. In upcoming weeks, iamdiscovery.com will treat visitors to the remainder of

the Maine Island Trail adventure with additional webisodes, still photography and journal entries about the craggy coastlines, the peaceful

calm, and the colorful characters. This follows on the heels of Bayliner Discovery's first journey, where Motor Boating Magazine's Managing

Editor John Wooldridge and his buddy Ken Nicholson challenged a new Bayliner Discovery 246 Cruiser in the Pacific chop from San Diego

to Catalina Island and on through Channel Islands National Park to Santa Barbara. Website visitors followed the two men as they kayaked

near sea caves, went on a buffalo safari, and met Catalina Island locals. The surprisingly cool navigation of the site transported visitors to

webisodes of Wooldridge's voyage, trip journals, planning links and Bayliner Discovery boats. Check it out and become part of the

adventures at www.iamdiscovery.com.
