Artist Margaret McCrea and her husband are avid sailors, often taking extended cruises. As they progress, she keeps detailed journals, jotting down her thoughts and observations as well as recording the relevant facts of the trip. But what sets her journals apart is that she also illustrates them with beautiful and evocative watercolor sketches. In Maine Sail, highlights of several of her Maine cruise journals have been amalgamated into a single travelogue, illustrated more than 250 of McCrea's watercolors, both her small original studies and the larger, more detailed paintings she makes from them once she returns to her studio ashore.
