What else do I do besides row? In the summer, I swim. In the winter, I ski. Yesterday I went for a ski at the place I love to swim, Lake St. George.

It’s a surreal and magical feeling gliding across the frozen surface of water I spend so much time submerged in, in the warmer months.

Because it’s frozen, I venture farther than I normally do when swimming. Following snowmobile trails, I made it out to Mill Island, about a mile from shore. There was an ice shack and two people fishing. One of them saw me and offered to break a trail for me around the island. I insisted that he didn’t need to do this, but he insisted that he did! So there were plenty of semi groomed paths to ski across. And enjoy this lake in an entirely unique way that is winter in Maine.

I finished up at sunset. What a breathtaking place this is.

Lo and behold, my favorite ice cream spot John's Ice Cream was open! On a Monday, no less, in early February! Thank you Louis and crew! Go out to Liberty and support this iconic midcoast biz, which is, the BEST ice cream in Maine!

A wicked good time with these rugged women rowing under the rising Full Snow Moon.

17°? No matter! Rowing keeps you warm. Dressing properly helps. Hot spiced cider and ginger cookies onboard do, too.

Skim ice was forming on top of the water as we got back on the dock.

Those sherbet colors casted from the cosmic dance of sunset and moonrise. The air cold and frosty. Winter full moons are the most clear.

Then…. basking in the deep heat of sauna on the waterfront. An icy dip under the light of the moon. Skim ice all around.

Wellness can mean being witchy.

Happy full 🌕 in 🦁 everyone!

March’s Full Worm Moon is on the calendar! Two seats left! Book your sauna session as an add-on apres’ row.

Scenes from a ribbon-cutting. For Salty Witch Sauna on the Belfast waterfront! I’ve never done one of these before and it was so much fun! And those scissors, WOW!

On such a cold and blustery but beautiful) day, it was warming to have this wonderful group of people join me for this ceremony, officiated by Dorothy Havey of the .area.chamber That hat of hers is everything!

Folks got to check out the sauna and warm up, eat my famous GF ginger molasses cookies, and sip hot spiced cider. And connect with each other. Which is what it’s all about!

It’s nice to have rituals like this. I felt really supported by my community. Thank you everyone!

Of course we saunaed after! So much snow to play in!

Adventure & wellness on the Belfast waterfront. Community and connection. That’s what I’m all about with my unique services, DoryWoman Rowing & Salty Witch Sauna.

Book a sauna session or row (or both) this winter! Good medicine for challenging times.

It was a different kind of smoke that surrounded my sauna yesterday morning.

Communing with the sea smoke in Belfast harbor!

Doesn’t my sauna look gorgeous with that backdrop? Sea smoke kingdom. And all that snow? It’s like she belongs there.

It’s going to be wickedly cold this weekend. Too cold to row, that’s for sure! However, not too cold to sauna. At least I don’t think so!

Want to find out? Salty Witch Sauna sessions open Saturday 1/24 at 1:30, 3:30 & 5:30pm and Sunday 1/25 at 1:30pm. Private group sessions are also an option on Saturday, by appointment. Sauna seats up to 6!

with it being in a single digit digits for most of the weekend, it’s probably not the best conditions for dipping, but it sure was gorgeous in the water earlier this week. Beautiful rows out in the bay and upriver in the ice, too!
