Photos, from top: shells and sand dollars collected from our beach and tidal pools; a boat-building shop in downtown Bath (home of the first ship built in Maine–by some hardy English settlers–in 1607); ropes and buoys for lobster traps; the lobster tanks at our favorite seafood shop, Gilmore’s; all the yummy local food we get at the Bath Farmer’s market; sunset at the Kennebec River.
