A Little Mussel Update


So, we've eaten a lot of mussels in the last week. First, on board Takarabrune, with Greg and Pat, we had them steamed with white wine and onions, more vino on the side. ( yes Kristel, delicious) Next night, on board Hurrah, with B.J. and Kelly, this time steamed with onion and garlic, maybe a little more wine on the side. Then last night, Steve made a marvelous garlicky marinara sauce, added mussels and baked fresh hard rolls for dipping. This was special enough to break out the Captain. Finger licking good.
Today we sailed up to Islesboro for the upcoming Gam. We managed to snag a mooring ball in Warren Island Marine Park for the weekend. Whoohoo, no dragging and no lobster bouys!

These pictures are amazing! Steve looks vaguely guilty picking up all those mussels. We are loving every minute of this whole Maine tale. Castine is probably our favorite place in Maine and possibly the world, if we leave out Italy. So glad you guys are having fun.
