Thanks for mailing the Anchor to my home in Illinois. My husband and I so enjoy reading all the latest news!
I have been coming to South Harpswell all my life, beginning as a child when we would travel from our home in New Jersey for my dad’s two-week vacations. I have so many fond memories: taking Junior Lifesaving off the town dock, Labor Day picnics where all of us kids would spend the day collecting driftwood for the bonfire, walking down to Estes Lobster House for supper or an ice cream — we even used to have square dances in that building! And looking for sea glass and crabs, boat rides to some of the islands for the day, Bailey’s Store, spectacular sunsets and so much more.
A lot has changed but we still come to the cottage once or twice a year to enjoy the beauty and solitude of South Harpswell, which never change. We love our daily walks to the point.
With appreciation for the connection the Anchor brings us,
