An island off of the mouth of the Kennebec River, Seguin has the tallest lighthouse in Maine which is also one of the oldest in the United States.

You get everything - A rustic dock, historic fort, laid-back locals, a beautiful boat ride, hiking on an island, lighthouse tour, and picnic lunch opportunities with spectacular views. (There were even a wild blackberry or two to pop in my mouth.) If you only have one day in Maine (which would be a shame) you can't beat this trip. Make reservations ahead. I called 24 hours before and got the last two seats (cash only, pay on the boat.) There is no sign on the dock at Popham to indicate this is where the boat will meet you, but if you are parked next to the historic fort, you are in the right spot. (There is a portapotty next to fort if you need it before getting on the boat.) To top off your Maine experience stop by Anna's Water's Edge Restaurant on your way home (10 minutes away.) It's a rustic, hidden gem.

Traveling in the time of covid means staying flexible, lowering the bar a bit, and remembering that everyone (with a few exceptions) are trying their best to keep things afloat. This Clambake is a long-standing summer tradition for my family, and when I found out we'd be able to still ship out on the Bennie Alice this summer even though the pandemic is on, I was purely thrilled. Wondering what to expect, given how much trouble places are having with the staffing, but figuring that several hours on Cabbage Island would be great no matter how the Clambake went. Happy to say that if it hadn't been for everyone wearing masks on the boat (absolutely required, no arguments) and inside the building, I'd never have known anything at all was amiss. The family was just as friendly - and the matriarch was even there as usual, to greet us all as we came off the boat - as ever. The food was just as great as ever, the island was just as beautiful as ever, the cruise (even with masks) was just as nice as ever. And everyone was taking the infection control seriously and behaving responsibly (without getting nutty and weird), so no worries on that front. This Clambake is always an amazing event, which is why so many people make it an annual tradition, and this year it also gave us the gift of briefly forgetting about all of this crazy stuff, and just being able to relax and not worry about any problems bigger than how to keep stains off our t-shirts. Lovely. Would absolutely recommend!
