City advice

Virginia Curtis Gatch
• Don't cook dead lobsters!
• Don't walk anywhere at low tide and think you can get back before high tide.
• Aidan says: make sure your bike has brakes on the big hill in dipper cove (seems applicable to any scenario).
• Bring bug spray.

Here are a few things from Ferron’s.
• Bring water shoes and old sneakers.
• Always allow your clams to soak 24 hours in seawater and cornmeal.
• Buy a few extra lobsters for bisque and lobster salad.
• Arrive at the cottage with booze and food. You will not want to leave once you get there!!

Maine is the best place to be. It always brings us happiness and rejuvenation! Check out all the books on Maine in cottage (please do not take home).
• Smelling the air and listening to waves hitting the rocks.
• Watching the sunsets.
• Building a fire in spring or fall and reading in peace and quiet.
