We would like to thank all the folks who swiftly helped us with a fuel spill at Durant’s Lobster wharf a few weeks ago. It was caused by a leak in a bait truck delivering bait to our wharf, not by one of our boats.

Thanks to our wharf boss, Jeff, along with family members, neighbors, friends, and the Cundy’s Harbor Volunteer Fire Department, the leak was quickly contained. The Maine Department of Environmental Protection was quick to respond and it was immediately taken care of.

Thanks again.

Marie and Lester Durant and family

Observations on the field

Recently, while walking Mitchell Field with my dog, I took an informal bird count. On the lower field, I chalked up a bobolink sighting right off the bat. These seasonal migrant birds are endangered and need the open meadows for raising their young.
