Windjammer sunset cruise
I’ll be in Bar Harbor in Mid June. How should I expect to dress for a sunset cruise?
For a sunset cruise in Bar Harbor in mid-June, you'll want to dress comfortably but be prepared for potentially cooler temperatures, especially once the sun sets. The weather in June can be a bit unpredictable, so it's best to layer your clothing to stay warm as the evening progresses. Here are a few suggestions for what to wear:
- Layered clothing: Start with a light, breathable base layer (like a T-shirt or tank top), and bring a light sweater or long-sleeve shirt. As the evening gets cooler, you'll appreciate having something to layer on.
- Windbreaker or jacket: Since you're on the water, it can be quite breezy, especially at sunset. A lightweight, windproof jacket or fleece would be a smart choice. A waterproof jacket could also be useful in case there's any mist or light rain.
- Comfortable pants or jeans: Depending on your personal preference, comfortable jeans, leggings, or casual pants would work well for sitting and enjoying the views. You may also want to wear something that is easy to move in if you plan to walk around the deck.
- Closed-toe shoes: Since you'll likely be on a boat, it's a good idea to wear closed-toe shoes, especially ones that are non-slip. Deck shoes, sneakers, or comfortable flats are a good option. Avoid sandals or flip-flops, as they could be slippery on the deck.
- Hat and sunglasses: If you’re planning to be outside on the deck during the day, don’t forget to protect yourself from the sun. A hat and sunglasses are a good idea for keeping the sun out of your eyes during the earlier part of the cruise.
- Warm layers for after sunset: Even in June, the temperature can drop quickly once the sun goes down, especially on the water. Bring a cozy sweater, hoodie, or even a scarf to stay warm once the sun sets. A blanket or shawl could also come in handy.
Overall, aim for comfort and versatility. You'll want to enjoy the cruise without worrying about being too hot or too cold, so layering is key. As a general rule, it's always better to bring a bit more warmth than you think you'll need—Bar Harbor can be cool and windy by the water in the evenings!
Enjoy your sunset cruise and the beautiful views of the coast!
