Awesome shop in Boothbay Harbor...
I wish this was really the price of gas...
Every year the town gets together as part of their Fisherman's Festival and selects a Shrimp Princess...
The first event of the monring is the Cod Fish Relay. Each grade in the high school has a team, and they have to put on foul weather gear, grab two fish, run around the town and then the next person has to put on the gear, grab the fish, and run, and on down the line...
The perennial emcee for the day...
The race for last place...
Once the high school race was done, they did the small fry version...
The second event of the day is the trap haul, where teams go out and race to see who can pick up all of the traps and then put them back quicker. This was the winning team coming in...
The next event is the crate run, where they string a line of lobster crates that are weighted down with seaweed between a boat and the dock and people (mostly kids) run across them to see how many back and forth passes they can make before they fall in...
This is the kid who won. The rule is that you either fall in or run for 3 minutes. In 3 minutes, he ran 480 crates...
The last three runners were members of the local Coast Guard unit who decided to get in on the action...
The next event, and the last one I stayed to watch, was the dory bailout. The only match I saw was the first one, where two sets of sophomores from the local high school battled it out...
Craft fair at the Boothbay Harbor Fire House...
Indoor flea market and dam in Brunswick...
Pemaquid Point Lighthouse...
I seriously busted my butt on the rocks in order to get this picture...
I took the opportunity to make my sister pose a bit...
