Covered slips don't seem to be a Maine option. Snow load? Cost of shorefront land?
Slips are also hard to come by in our neck of the water.
Moorings are preponderant and nice IMHO. You swing to the weather. You have changing views. They are less expensive. You know what you have for ground...
After a day eating everything dead or alive he could find on the beach, Bos'n gave us a scare in the middle of the night. The noises made us think that the boat was sinking. But he was just living up to the Dog Credo:
Woof right back at you from Emily Anne's Bos'n.
I like being a boat dog in training although sometimes boating bores me. But sometimes I see something interesting. And sometimes I get fed if I hint strongly enough. And if I'm lucky I get to go swimming.
But I sometimes just like being at home...
Buck's Harbor Marine has transient moorings for rent. Also, many of the private moorings have no boats on them lately. Pick one up and wait. If no one kicks you off by late pm you should be fine for the night.

I don't know what he sold it for, but I know the guy he sold it to.
The boat is now named TODA.
The new owner said that some of the wiring that Calder did (re-did?) in the boat was kind of funky but worked.
It's was built for, and is owned by, Bill Page who was a boat broker with Cannel, Paine and Page in Camden. He now has his own brokerage, Page Traditioal Boats.
