This Is Maine - Episode 7 - Boothbay Harbor

[@joshjohnson2600]

I’m moving to Maine in 2021. I never really saw myself living in a coastal state but that low population and stuff to do outside got me.

And I LOVED MAINE!!!! I spent so many summers there!!

Maine looks so beautiful. The fact that it's a coastal state makes it even more beautiful.

This really gives a genuine flavor of Maine. Born and raised Kennebunk, but in Colorado now. This makes me nostalgic for my home. Excellent work all around you guys.

I helped my dad sail his boat to maine in 2004. our first port was booth bay harbor. when we arrived , it was august, I never saw so many lobster pots! they were beautiful, painted all different colors, but I was like "dad, we aren't bringing the boat in there"! it was like a mine field. but my dad was an excellent helmsman and we made it. I bet my best friend, when we arrived that I would jump in the water. I did. it was COLD!. we went to dinner, when we came back, the tide had gone out and the ramp to the floating dock where our dingy was , was like a ski jump , straight down! in the morning, lobster boats (like pick up trucks of the sea) were Chris crossing the harbor , jeering at eachother as they did their work. we made way and headed out on towards Camden Maine. what a beautiful place. Love Maine !!!

I live in Boothbay Harbor for a while 30 years ago. As they say in Maine "wicked good" place to live or visit.

[@joshuapinkham2925]

born and raised in Boothbay until I moved in 2011. I worked and played at the golf course for the Seahawks for over 4 years. I would have to say this isn't the true Boothbay that everyone knows and loves. This is a great piece but I wish they represented real Boothbay Harbor, not just one persons vision of what Boothbay should be. It breaks my heart to watch this.

[@Mill3rtime2010]

Agreed sprucewald living is amazing .. and robinsons warf section.is incredible the harbour is cool but the surrounding area is breathe taking

[@Voltomess]

Do they have bears there?

[@tylerertley5169]

I heard someone bought boothbay harbor and shut so many places down. Is that true ?😔

[@TheChrisPutnam]

They were referring to the guy in these videos - Paul Colombe - he actually rescued Boothbay, it was kind of in shambles before and he has spent a ton of money revitalizing it. Lots of locals hate him though, they just want to loaf around and let it die

[@ericluck1084]

I have grown up going to Boothby Harbor in the summer and all of the true locals the golf hate club and coulomb

[@joshuapinkham2925]

not sure what your trying to say? but i have a feeling that there is the true locals that love the course then there is Coulomb that pushed them out

[@briandalepotpourri]

I am unsubscribing. This seems like an extended paid ad placement for local businesses. Guess I will head back and watch old Jack Perkins and Maine Production videos.

[@tylerertley5169]

Brian Dale why are you being like that? She did a good job! And I appreciate her mentioning these cool places cause out all the time I spent there, I never went to those places. So I want to try them now.

[@joshuapinkham2925]

I 100% agree. I was born and raised there. The popcorn was actually local but everything else is this fake persona of Coulombs world, a guy that isn't from there. This was a one big tourist ad to try to get rich white people to visit and spend money at his establishments.

[@joeshow8815]

spot on ...it's either a beer palce or a popcorn place. Nothing maine about stuff like that. Beer/popcorn etc. .... the same in all 50 states

[@PatrickMurtha]

Capably hosted, but unfortunately, this is an example of how NOT to do these things. Obviously overly focused on promoting one guy’s businesses. Beyond that: Many of us, when we travel to small towns, want to experience the local history; literature, art, and music; the streets and buildings; nature and animals; the charm, in short. Not just golf and expensive meals, which have more appeal for a very specific subset of moneyed visitors.

Hi Mark - this episode obviously doesn't represent everything that Boothbay has to offer. We highlight a wide variety of local businesses and activities all over the state - our episode from this season explores some other facets of the town: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q3jEaYR_aa1_laM
