Lobster capital of the world! Rockland, Maine.




Rockland, Maine.
We spent a couple of days in a small beautiful bay, called Robin Hood Cove. In the mornings we are now having fog and the temperature is decreasing to more normal levels, for us.
We arrived to Rockland yesterday after an interesting sail through the archipelago of the Maine coast. It is very similar to what meets you in Sweden: low skerries and rocky islands with pine trees. The trolls are here, too! Holiday homes of different shapes and sizes are dotted all. Only a very few people stay on the islands all year round. Lobsterfishing is the main employment along the coast. Rockland claims to be the lobster capital of the world. Field after field of lobsterpots are scattered for miles along the coast. You have to watch every inch when motoring in case you should hit one of the thousand buoys.
