Downeast Maine has a vigilante streak that runs through it.

I believe it was part of a historic sardine factory on the North Lubec Road.

I appreciate it. I was just trying to engage in some friendly banter as Lubec is an interesting topic. I went back last spring after not being there since I was a kid (grandparents died there in 1987) and stayed at West Quoddy Station, which was really cool. Anyway, people can get grumpy these days. I will use my exoneration wisely!

The tide in Lubec hates you and wants to kill you. I was thinking of sailing an engineless boat into the harbor this September. Forecast didn't work out but it was a bit butthole-puckering just doing the planning.

Well, the second largest whirlpool in the world is a stone’s throw away, so that tracks

I remember a few years back when people stuck out at head harbor lighthouse tried to come back at a flood tide.

Where does she stand on the shed roof issue?

I had to look up what you were talking about. Crazy story. I asked my Mom and she really didn't have much of an opinion on it. She used to work in one of the old fish packing plants before they closed down years ago. It's been converted to a to a nice place to eat and stay.

I first visited Lubec after a big storm came through. It had knocked the roof off of a wharf shed. The roof then floated the quarter mile over to the Canadian island there (the name eludes me).
Apparently “finders keepers” is established maritime law as the Canadians planted a Canadian and Jolly Roger flags on the shed roof, refusing to give it back. Half the town of Lubec couldn’t care less, the other half was ready to go to war and launch some kind of midnight raid like Washington crossing the Delaware.
Fun town, Lubec. Can’t wait to get back up there.
