DW and I have been talking about heading "down east" for a few years now. She had an aunt & uncle that lived in Boothbay Harbor. They lived above the VFW hall at the end of the walking bridge that crossed the harbor. Her uncle Free (Freeman) showed us how to use a spinner to fish off the floating pier when the tide was coming in. We would walk a couple of blocks to the dock where the lobsterman would unload their catches. They had lobster tanks outside with seawater flowing thru and you could pick out your lobster and they would steam it while you waited.
Cabbage Island tours had a lobster bake on the Islands beach. Her uncle Free hated the "outsiders" as he was a "Mainiack".
