locals
/finally. found the local fisherman's pub. cheers for sharing this sweet rarity. 15 days in maine
this little guy made the news? word.
rain was forecast for the afternoon and we were tired of driving nova on the winter-beaten roads of maine. well into our 15-day trip up the coast and eager to find a not-so-touristy spot to grab a beer, we meandered into a local pub that overlooks southwest harbor.
about half way through the evening the bartender brought us outside to check out this rare blue lobster. You're a mainer he said, here!
indeed i am.
and then it poured and the dogs hate the rain so we dry camped in the harbor parking lot behind the boats and the bakery and hung at the pub.
last call is 9 but we didn't leave until after 10:30 - sorry we're closed the bartender said when someone walked in, they all work here.
to their surprise, we kept up with the locals packing pints and shared stories about fishing, sailing, harbors, road trips and small towns.
a few days later, my brother and grandmother told me the lobster had made the news:
rootin' for a throw back.
to the crew at the pub - thanks for making us feel like locals for the night and thanks for sharing this blue gem with us.
just returned from 15 days in maine with nova, unplanned and unmapped.
stories of me, my best, murphy and touls in nova for 15 days on paper - digital soon.
