I’ve discovered a secret! Well, it’s really not a secret to the locals (or even tourists) but a few weeks ago I took the ferry on a sunset tour around Casco Bay. Don’t ask me how I’ve lived in Maine for nearly two years and am just now finding out about this! Christin and I set out one balmy evening in search of the ferry docks. For a minimal fee you get to hop on the ferry and take a 3 hour ride around the islands dotting the bay.
There is a mad dash when the gate opens of people trying to get prime seating on the benches in the front of the boat. However, if you walk to the back you can spread out a blanket and practically have the whole thing to yourself (views and all!) As two girls who love to eat, we naturally came prepared with a picnic including one of the best lobster rolls I've found in Maine, fried brussels sprouts drizzled with sriracha aoli, and truffle fries all from Milly's Skillet washed down with a bottle of Pinot Gris.
Watching as the sun dipped down below the horizon painting the sky ablaze with fiery oranges and golds and finally fading into the palest of pinks as twilight emerged.
As the cool ocean breeze took over we slipped on some warmer layers and took in the sights. Boats bobbed in the bay while seagulls swooped overhead.
Watching as the sun dipped down below the horizon painting the sky ablaze with fiery oranges and golds and finally fading into the palest of pinks as twilight emerged.
The perfect end to a classic Maine evening with a great friend!
