Cranberry Isle

Nothing like the joys of a weekend getaway. Cranberry Isle, a 30-minute ferry ride from the Maine mid-coast, is known for it's quaint streets and sprawling summer clapboard houses, wooded paths and rugged shore. Bikes are the preferred means of travel here and any old rust bucket with a basket will do. Happily, the days have warmed enough to stash the winter wardrobe, but a sweater or jacket is still required. Visit before the summer people come! 

All clothing from the May round of Mens Department, which ends soon so don't miss it, plus two items from the upcoming Men Only Hunt, one of the year's best events for SL males (will show more from that hunt when it gets underway).
