at

Brightly colored pot buoys bob in the ocean all along the Maine coast. Each fisherman’s buoys have a unique color scheme. Visit the S Road School on Route 129 in South Bristol on Saturdays in August from 1-4 p.m. and step back a few years to the time when buoys were carved from wood rather than the Styrofoam creations that began to be used in the 1960s. The old wooden buoys varied in shape as well.

Round Pond Column

at

A few years ago, the Columbia broke loose from its mooring and went aground off of the back side of Louds Island and there it still sits. While my grandson thinks that it is the coolest thing that he has ever seen (he is convinced that there are dead bodies aboard), I am sure that the land owners on the island are not thrilled about the whole situation. No one seems to quite know what to do about it and there is concern about fuel in the tanks (or dead bodies aboard).
