The Month of Marchuary

The wind blew, and the rain fell. The wind howled, and the rain slashed. The noise outside crested to a battering symphony of nature's fury, and then the power went out. Shortly thereafter, it seems, nature had exhausted her fury- the rain slackened, the wind settleed and then died, and all remained dark. Thus was the big storm that ended Februrary- for some in was rain, for some it was snow, for all, strong winds and the loss of power. I hope, whomever and wherever you are reading this, you have gotten your power back on. If not, may the power repair trucks be on their way to your door as you read this. I would like to take a little time to talk about a couple special events that happen here in Boothbay Harbor. The first would be Windjammer Day's- I'd like to talk about this one first, because here at Fisherman's Wharf, we are filling up rapidly. We have a total of eleven rooms remaining for the two days of the event; Windjammer's truly represents the starting line for the summer season here in Boothbay Harbor. Though Fisherman's will have been open for about a month at this point, this is when we truly see all the beauty of the town unfold. All the shops will be in full swing, and perhaps, as you wander the streets, idly munching a bag of specialty popcorn from the Coastal Maine Popcorn factory, and travel back down the hill, you may see the hint of a ship's mast making its way into the harbor. As you come closer, it reveals itself to be one of the glorious "tall ships" that arrive every year for the event. Though you may have to push your way through the crowds gathering to see the ships arrive, you will do so, because these ships are at the heart of Windjammer Days. Great music, better food, lively craft fairs- this is what is all about. Then top it all off with a fine fireworks display- perfection. Speaking of fireworks, the second event I would like to discuss is the Fourth of July. Another event, full of pagentry, and ended with fabulous fireworks display. And you know the best spot to watch those fireworks? From a balcony of one of our fine rooms at the Fisherman's Wharf Inn. So, be it for Windjammer Days, the Fourth of July or even the tenth of August, come join us at the Fisherman's Wharf Inn in Boothbay Harbor, ME, for a spectacular, authentic Maine experience.
