Stewards by the Sea
This is a story about time and the importance
of what you do with it. It is told by a place and the
people of that place-the Pemaquid Peninsula. It is a
story of oyster shells piled high one thousand years
ago, and oysters grown for market today. It is a story
of four hundred year old foundations, a hundred fifty
year old light house, and ice harvested in February that
is still solid in August. These are stories of people
who collect things from the past, like lunch boxes, boats,
memories, and save them for the future. They are stories
of people, who each in their own way, do something to
make the place they live a little better for those who
are to follow. It might be as fleeting as a sticky bun,
baked, sold and consumed in the same morning. Or it might
be as permanent as mother and child carved in granite
that will last forever.

Schoodic
Where Sea Meets Land
This video is about the communities of Gouldsboro, Prospect Harbor, Corea and
Winter Harbor, Maine. They all share a peninsula on the coast and an understanding
of magic. It is the magic of ocean knocking against a rocky coast, or sun burning
through a lingering morning fog. It is the magic found in the practical approach
to living that is engendered on this coastal peninsula. As Lobsterman Dale Torrey
puts it, "You can't explain it, it's just in you."
