On Monday, we went down to the Dip Net (of course) for a quick lunch. RG had the fried scallop basket and I had the shrimp cakes with ginger sauce on a bed of wild greens. It was difficult to skip the fish chowder (I think it's the best in all of Maine) but the shrimp cakes looked too good. And they were.
After lunch we walked over to the Puffin Stop gift shop and browsed the fridge magnets and T-shirts and chatted with the woman working the register. She allowed that living in Port Clyde in the winter could be lonely, but this last winter it was snowy. She was awfully glad that there wasn't much black ice though. The snow she could handle but that black ice is a killer. Then she said, "It's all worth it for the Port Clyde summahs, ayuh," and she gestured out the window to her view.
I just had to take a picture, of course.
That's a fantastic photo. I'd probably get fired for daydreaming if I worked in that shop.
