Home for the Summer!
Grabbing lunch with old friends after docking our boat at the restaurant. Below is our 22ft Commander from the Freedom Boat Club.
Fishing boats
Ram Island Ledge Light
Home sweet home . . . .
The Saturday boating crew
Sunday breakfast, Maine style . . . . Venison Benedict, shot by my friend Rick and prepared by his wife Michelle. Delicious!
Onward to Boothbay Harbor where my first lobster of the summer awaits. Boothbay Lobster Wharf, my favorite venue when the sun is shining. Here I am holding the two largest lobsters they had (4lbs and 3.75lbs)
And here is the 4-pounder on my plate! Hard to show how big this thing actually is but the $20 bill gives you some idea.
Dock at Cousins Island, a private island in the outer harbor.
Mast from the USS Portland, a WWII cruiser that participated in many of the large Pacific battles.
Our boat again
Hanging out in the Old Port is not complete without a stop at Gritty McDuff’s brew pub
Then on to the Porthole for some great live music by the band Stolen Mojo
Driving back to Boothbay Sunday afternoon. I’ve driven by this stupid thing at least 50 times every summer. Finally, stopped to snap a pic. This is “Larry the Lobster”. He is the world’s largest inflatable lobster, sitting atop the Taste of Maine restaurant in the town of Woolwich. He is 12ft high, 70ft long and weighs over 700lbs.
Larry scares me 😉
