Argy took off yesterday for a family wedding in Greece. She took a load of Maine Outdoors retail items with her; water bottles, natural canvas hats and tee shirts. As you can see a significant portion of her suitcase is dedicated to gifts for the relatives. I know not really international trade.
Over last few weeks I have spent time with many families and groups of friends. I help them enjoy the outdoors and experience places and things that they could not on their own. During that time I have had the privilege of seeing five parties made up of three generations.
Every autumn as the loons gather on the ponds with the clearest water and best fishing they seem to lose their fear of boats. This year has been marked by loons coming very close to the boat while I have been fishing with clients. We have seen quite a few swimming nearby even under the boat in shallow water.
