WORKSPACE- July 10
By Justin Franz | Photograph by Meggan Gould
Chef Anne Mahle doesn’t have the luxury of space and tranquility. She is the head chef on the J. & E. Riggin, which she owns with her husband, Jon Finger. The 120-foot schooner is part of the historic Maine Windjammer fleet, which takes guests on overnight excursions along the coast. Mahle and Finger have owned
the boat since 1998.

Paradise Lost and Found.
Somewhere off the coast of Deer Isle, I crack open a sea urchin on the rail of a lobster boat.

Tubby’s Ice Cream
I would recommend enjoying your Frozen Frenzy with snickers and heath bar in an Adirondack chair beside the Old Mill Pond, while listening to Kenny Loggins on your iPod. That would make for a very smooth
and creamy afternoon.

Damariscotta By land or sea

June 2010 | By Chelsea Holden Baker | Photographs by Michael Heiko | Illustration by Karen Gelardi
Every June Damariscotta is invaded. The alewives come first, beginning in late May. The small “river herring” are anadromous, the kind of fish that return from sea to spawn in the fresh water where they were born. They are the namesakes of Damariscotta, a derivation of an Algonquin word that roughly translates as “meeting place of many fish.” But Damariscotta is also the meeting place of a more nefarious sea creature: pirates. June 13 marks “The Pirate Rendezvous,” when swashbucklers aboard the 55-foot topsail yawl the S/V Must Roos sail up the Damariscotta River, and charge ashore at high noon in search of their treasure hidden somewhere in town…

Five Fifty-Five
This one satisfies the “gourmet burger” category. Usually the chefs make a made-from-scratch version of a “junk-food burger.”

You’d expect to find them in New York, DC, or Los Angeles, but these natives HAVE made dream careers from home and are the leaders of three companies Maine is proud to call ITS own.

Occupation: Real-estate broker
What have you done over the years?
I was in the army, mowed lawns, and did a little lobstering. Eventually my brother-in-law and I bought my father and his brother’s general store. We stayed in that until 1980, and then I concentrated more on my real estate. And I’ve stayed in real estate.

When office manager Emily McConnell compiled stats about Maine magazine’s readership, it got advertising account manager Peter Heinz thinking about the dynamics of our workplace. The next morning, he shared this:

In each edition we’ll highlight a different region in Maine—this month we’re turning to Brunswick, a concentrated downtown packed with options. When you go, take an entire day.
Linda Greenlaw

PROFILE-May 2010
By Chelsea Holden Baker | Photographs by Jack Montgomery
Swordboat captain, best-selling author, islander, guardian
At the Porthole Restaurant on Custom House Wharf in Portland, Captain Linda Greenlaw clasps her hands on top of a table. She looks still, but excitement is radiating from her, the taught energy of a line that’s hooked a fish. “I’m going to the International Seafood Show in Boston on Sunday and I’ll be wearing my badge that says Hannah Boden—people are gonna get it.”
What they’re going to get, is that Captain Greenlaw is back on her boat. Greenlaw has never owned the 100-foot fishing vessel Hannah Boden—the boat made famous by Sebastian Junger’s The Perfect Storm—but only because she never wanted to. Hannah Boden is more like a long-lost lover than a wife. All she has invested “is a pair of boots.”

Seal Point Series #V VIII and XVII
Written by Deborah Weisgall
John Walker paints Seal Point, on the coast near South Bristol looking out at John’s Bay, and he paints only when the tide is out, when he finds the view more interesting.
