June has arrived and we are two weeks into the 2010 season. The season has started out extremely promising, for us here at the Fisherman’s Wharf Inn and for all the local shops and excursions- Memorial Day Weekend was beautiful and busy, which of course is beautiful in its self. We hosted another successful Alumni Dinner, and the parade on Monday was a fine tribute to veterans everywhere. Every year, after the holiday, there is a lull- the town clears out quite a bit- and remains calm for a couple of weeks. This is a great time to visit Boothbay Harbor. It is a fabulous time to visit the sights without the crowds, to drive the coast without traffic, and enjoy spectacular food without having to wait for a table. I would encourage everyone to visit during this period before Windjammer Day’s- most everything is open, and you will find great deals walking off the street for lodging. Always make sure to ask for a room upgrade; invariably, hotels will want to put their best foot forward and upgrade you to nicer room, for the same price, when they are not busy. If you are a shopper or would just like to have a few days relaxation by the sea, the Fisherman’s Wharf Inn in Boothbay Harbor, Maine is a perfect spot for any and all vacation desires.
                The end of June is really the kick off to the summer season. The first major summer event, Windjammer Days, comes near the end of June, after which the town is busy and bustling until Labor Day. There is nothing quite like seeing the majestic windjammers sailing into the harbor. If you open your mind’s eye, you can almost picture a time when the wind was the sole source of propulsion for sailing, and these tall ships were the norm.  They were like floating villages, with every member of the crew doing their part to ensure the safety of the whole. Though the crew’s of today windjammers are probably not the career sailors of the past, they still take pride in their job, keeping the vessels in fine working condition- all in all, it is a unique opportunity to view these pieces of living history.  But book early, because rooms go fast for these couple of days in June. Here at Fisherman’s Wharf, we have guests that have been staying in the same room, for this event, for over twenty years. You have to be lucky or have really good timing- give us a call, we will let you know what we have available. But please understand that there are not many rooms left at all. Which is a good thing for us- we prefer being busy.
                As we launch ourselves into the full swing of summer, please remember, anytime is a great time to visit Boothbay Harbor and the Fisherman’s Wharf Inn. We have great staff this year- experienced and enthusiastic- and we would love for you to join us. It is as easy as picking up the phone and giving us a call; someone is here, twenty four hours a day, to take your call and show you what the Fisherman’s Wharf Inn has to offer- fun and relaxation by the sea.
