We just love it here. What else can I say? The harbor is beautiful. The amenities at the resort are wonderful. 2 different restaurants to choose from, tennis courts and golf (although we haven't played yet), boccie, croquet, special activities, a bowling alley (!), salt water pool, kayak, canoes and more! We haven't had a chance to do/use/enjoy all these activities, because, well, there are just soo many! One fun thing we did is take a ride upon The Ruth. The Ruth is the Sebasco Harbor Resort tour boat and has been in service since her launch in 1935.
Captain and I took the noon cruise over to Cundys Harbor on Great Island. We were thrilled to see an Eagle on the way! They are such huge birds, unmistakably! The Ruth takes us right to the town wharf and while there wasn't space to park on the town wharf, the captain dropped us off at the working wharf. I snapped this picture of some lovely and most definitely dead, red fish. Red fish is commonly used for lobster bait.
We headed over to Holbrooks for lunch and enjoyed some of the best clam chowder I have ever had (and almost everywhere we go here on the coast, I order clam chowder), fried clams and yummy onion rings. we sat on the deck overlooking the harbor and remarked at what a beautiful day it was to be on the coast of Maine.
There is a cute little gift store to browse around as well as a general store. Captain did the right thing and walked over to the general store to get us some cold beer to drink with our lunch. Thanks Captain!
If you have the chance, visit Cundy's Harbor. boating that it is the oldest commercial fishing village, since 1841! It's soo very Maine! http://hstrial-eprybylo.homestead.com/
On our way back to Sebasco we caught a few glimpse of harbor seals and learned a bit about Malaga Island. Here is a quick little bit about it:
" In 1912, a mixed-race community of about forty-five people was evicted by the state of Maine from Malaga Island, just off the coast of Phippsburg. It was an act motivated by economics, racism, eugenics, and political retribution".

We had a great time, and enjoy as much as we can where ever we are.
