Exploring Southport

Our weather was amazing yesterday and we spent it all on Southport, the adjacent peninsula to Boothbay.  I spent the summer of 1977 in East Boothbay working at a lobster shack and living in a wee cottage on a dock like the one I am in now.  It has been a walk down memory lane for me.  Main photo is the quintessential Maine light house on Southport.  Extra photos, a “Find Henry and Stella” (they are easy to spot but don’t tell them!), All Saints by the Sea, a church built in 1860’s, a two masted schooner, and the Newagen Seaside Inn which first welcomed guests in 1812 and where we had a delicious lunch.  The original inn burned in 1943 under suspicious circumstances connected to the Nazi U Boat scare that year.  We reluctantly head home today but another little adventure still awaits.  Stay tuned for the final episode of “The Golden Girls Do Downeast Maine”.
