8/14  Our morning wake up call, as usual, was a lobster boat collecting traps. I flagged him down and asked if I could buy two lobsters from him. I passed a bucket over with a boat hook, he dropped two lobsters in and said “no charge.” I was astonished, and passed over a couple CDs to say thank you. He and his stern man seemed very appreciative, and I am looking forward to lobster dinner tonight. 

We are now anchored in Bunker Cove, main famous during the revolutionary war when a couple of patriots noticed a British supply ship was unattended. They cut the cable, raise the sails, and took off. The British gave chase, but were a couple hours behind. The rebels sailed the boat into this very cove, cut down the upper portions of the masts, and nailed pine branches to the remaining masts. The British sailed right on by and never saw it. 

The lobsterman just chimed in on my FB post! Thank you, Lebaron Libby Jr!
