We arrived in Rockport, Maine on July 15, 2009. And I am pointing to one of the "maine" reasons we decided to begin our full time travels here. Our first lobster boil including corn on the cob, potatoes, clams, mussels, and oh yeah.... lobsters!
This time of year the lobsters are shedding their shells. Their new shells are very soft and harden over time. There is a bit less meat in a "shedder" but the meat is sweeter and more juicy. In the nearly two months we have been here, the price of live lobsters has remained constant at $3.25 / pound. I can promise you this.... I have eaten my share. My lobster pot has been with us for decades and has seen little use until our arrival in Maine. We will make up for the lack of use over the years.
Thanks for your comment about my ladder question. Yes, we started full-timing about the same time...the only difference is we haven't left our driveway yet. The house hasn't sold yet. Here we sit and you are enjoying all those $3.25/lb. lobsters!
ReplyDeleteI've bookmarked your blog so I can "full-time" with you from our driveway.

hi,
ReplyDeletegot your link from a post you made on the goodsams website- we also started fulltiming a couple of months ago, and are in Maine too, but we are in Acadia National Park for this week. We head to NH and VT next...where are you headed? (PS-sold our house in MI!! Yay)
Congrats on the house sale! We are going to be at the Narrow Too up in the Bar Harbor area for the season next year. You need to spend some time in this (mid coast) region as well. From here we are going to Traffords RV in Conway NH for some warantee work, then we'll be working our way down to North Central Florida for Dec - March.... How about you folks?
ReplyDeletewe are going to swing by our daughters dorm room in mid Oct (Muncie IN),then meander to El Paso for Thanksgiving (parents) and San Diego for Christmas. Looking forward to the PA/KY area as well. Actually, its all good!
