It isn’t often you get to meet a living legend.  I met Dick Pulsifer today; he has been building Pulsifer Hampton Boats in Maine for more than 30 years.  Google the boats and check it out.  He is very friendly and great person to talk with.  I may have to take a trip by his shop and check it out.  If you decide you want a great boat and have an extra $50,000 give him a call.  It is one of those boats you can probably sell in 20 years for what you paid for it.

We finally saw Gene and Christina today.  They were able to get toot-toot the local water taxi to pick them up.  They were running out of food after 3 days of being fogged in on the boat.  I think they were both getting a little stir crazy.  We let them take our vehicle and go buy groceries while we went back to the show.  I don’t know what Maine did before Carole showed up to improve the economy.  Fair warning if you get a present from her over the next year it will probably be from Maine. 

After lunch it was on to Searsport and Hamilton Marine so Carole could get a new foul weather jacket.  After three days of fog looks like it may become standard gear.  She talked the lady into a 40% discount.  Kaye Cole would be so proud of her.

The “cottage” is almost perfect.  It is just what you dream of a cottage on the Maine shore.  Great view (we think, only fog so far) off to distance islands.  It is unbelievable quite her.  Not a noise anywhere.  The photos give you a flavor of the place.  The only issue is the connect speed here is slower than sorghum syrup on December morning at the camp house.  Because of that I will only put in one or two photos up at a time.
