It's not often - thank goodness - that our captain urges, "You have to visit to this bar in the marina -it's amazing!" But after navigating through fog and dodging hundreds of lobster pots on a 15-hour cruise from Boston to Penobscot Bay, and tucking the boat in for the night, we joined our crew for some well-deserved cocktails at one of Maine's most stylish watering holes, located on the grounds of the Lyman-Morse at Wayfarer Marina in Camden. One of the charms of LM Marina is how close it is to town. I made the 10-minute walk several times past the Victorian-style homes. Locals and summer residents were on their front porches reading, chatting with friends or just watching the world go by. What was remarkable was that they did this for hours. The same people who were on their porches before lunch were still there entertaining friends and family long after the dishes were dried. I snapped photos of facades and manicured lawns bordered by hydrangea and tea roses. It felt like I was in a 1950s movie set.
