From the moment we arrived until we had to say "so long" I fell in love with this boathouse and with the village of Corea. This was a totally new experience and one which we will never forget ... and hope to repeat again some day. The home is literally right on the wharf with gorgeous views of the harbor. It was exciting to watch the lobster fishermen/women as they went about their daily work. The first time I was awakened by the sound of a lobster boat leaving harbor was Monday at 3:00am (they don't go out on Sundays), followed by many others going out to sea for their day's catch. Some left as late as 6am. I was spellbound as I watched. Around 11:30am the lobster boats return, drop off their catch at the Co-Op, tie up at their mooring and paddle their skiff to shore, usually standing up! By the next day I barely heard the boats leave. I got used to the sound. We bought a book, "Finest Kind: The Lobstermen of Corea, Portrait of a Down East Fishing Village" (2011) at the nearby Chapter Two gallery and gift shop. Excellent reading. The deck offers awesome views of the harbor and the tides as they go out and come in. We sat out with our morning coffee and breakfast, and again in the evening. We did need the mosquito repellent.The Corea Lunch on the Wharf, open 11am-5pm, has a nice variety of foods. This is two doors over. Everything was tasty. There are other restaurants nearby in Birch Harbor, Prospect Harbor and Winter Harbor. Note: there is a nice stove if you wish to cook. We drove to Schoodic Peninsula and Schoodic Point (it's open ocean from there). Some of the most amazing, beautiful, pristine scenery you will ever see. By 5pm in Corea, there are no sounds except the birds and the occasional vehicle. It is eerily quiet from 5pm on. I found it to be completely serene and peaceful ... very good for one's soul. We did not miss television at all. We enjoyed reading, playing games, sketching and relaxing. There are many opportunities nearby if you like to bike, hike, or enjoy being out on the water. We saw two bald eagles. We had to go to the Dorcas Library about 3 miles away to get Internet service. We barely missed not having Internet at the boathouse. Really just used it to post our photos on Facebook! This was truly a fantastic week. I started missing it as soon as we drove away! Kathy, the property manager, is very nice, attentive and a pleasure to work with. If you wish to unplug for a week (or more), this is the place to be!
