A pleasant supper on the Maine coast




Tonight six of us wandered over to a wonderful lodge between Sedgewick and Brooklin on the north shore of Eggemoggin Reach, a famous sailing venue. It is a classic place with greenswards extending down to the water where a long floating dock invites sailors to drop in for supper. We had cocktails or wine out on the deck until it was time to go inside for supper. They serve a breakfast for occupants of the lodge, and it serves supper only from 5:30 to 8:30...no lunch. There is an entirely different menu each night with only four or five entrees and live music on Monday and Thursday. Amongst our sixsome we had chicken marsala; pasta alfredo with lobster, scallops, and crabmeat; and baked haddock with crabmeat stuffing. The singer with a guitar accompanist captured our attention. There were perhaps a couple dozen folks eating, but there were still tables reserved. We were astounded to find that they are open year round! Even with the declining economy they appear to be doing well. Even though it is more than an hour's drive from the Moorings, we will return for an encore.
Today was another air conditioner day. There have not been many (three?). The air has been turned off for the evening, however. This weekend we return to Athol, MA for our 53rd high school reunion. We had so much fun at the 50th that we decided not to wait five or ten years to do it again.
