We've got oysters on our mind with The Maine Oyster Festival coming up on June 29 & 30. We're biased and think the Festival is pretty fantastic, but we tell people all the time the very best way to learn about oysters is to get out on a farm. Seacoast Tours of Freeport LLC offers two tours every Saturday. You'll board the Pamela B in South Freeport, cruise out to Mere Point Oyster Farm, sample the fresh oysters direct from the sea, paired with a glass of wine or local microbrew. You will also be treated to a lobster roll while learning from experts about the value of oysters for their extraordinary contribution to mitigate climate change. FMI: https://seacoasttoursme.com/

Dear Seacoast Tours Community,

It is with mixed emotions that I share some challenging news about Eagle Island Historic Landmark. Unfortunately, due to the aftermath of back-to-back storms that hit our beloved Maine coast on January 10 and 13, The Maine Bureau of Parks and Land has made the tough decision to close Eagle Island for the entirety of the 2024 season.

The storms caused considerable damage, particularly to the wooden pier and stone cribwork supporting it, leaving debris scattered along the shoreline. Preliminary observations from the Bureau of Parks and Land indicate minor damage to the house, with no immediate reports of harm to the visitor’s center, caretaker’s cottage, or the network of hiking trails.

As of 2/16/24, the extent of the damage is still being fully assessed. Gary Best, Southern Regional Parks Manager, suggests that it will take weeks to gather all the data needed to formalize a plan for cost estimates to rebuild the pier. Due to limited access to the island at this time, the true scope of the damage won’t be completely understood until spring.

Despite these challenges, the Bureau of Parks and Land, in collaboration with local, state, and federal agencies, will work on a comprehensive plan for the necessary repairs. Access to the island in 2024 will be extremely limited, and public moorings will not be available, making kayaking the only possible entry point.

The Future of Eagle Island Historic Landmark: A Beacon of Hope

While we navigate this period of restoration, your support is crucial. If you've had the privilege of visiting Eagle Island before, we invite you to share your positive and memorable experiences with us. Write about your moments as a visitor or docent, expressing the significance of this historic site. Your anecdotes will form a collective voice, emphasizing the importance of Eagle Island and, we hope, inspiring a swift rebuilding of the pier. Please send your submissions to [email protected]

What You Can Do to Help Us Sail Through This Storm:

As a small family-run business dependent on optimal weather during our short summer season, we face a unique set of challenges. If you were planning to visit Eagle Island this summer and are now looking for alternatives, we encourage you to explore the beauty of the Maine coast through our other excursions. Your support means the world to us, and by spreading the word about our tours, you contribute to the longevity of our business.

Visit www.seacoasttoursme.com to discover more about our offerings. Your continued support enables us to share the magic of our little slice of paradise along the coast of Maine.

Thank you for being part of the Seacoast Tours community. Together, we'll navigate these challenges and look forward to creating more maritime memories in the future.

Warm regards,

Peter Milholland

Hello All - after a little time off from Social Media, I felt compelled to post a story today about two of my favorite Maine businesses working together to raise funds for Maine's working waterfront recover from the recent devistating stormes.

If you feel moved by this outpooring of support, please leave a comment or better yet, make a donation to Maine Coast Fishermans Assn Working Waterfront Support Fund

The funds will be used to help rebuild the working waterfront after the recent storms.

Birds of Casco Bay ~ Boat Tour 10/20/23 9-11:30

Join the crew of Seacoast Tours and Derek Lovitch from Freeport Wild Bird Supply on a special tour of the islands and waters of Casco Bay. We’ll explore the inner islands of Freeport, Brunswick and Harpswell as we search for eagles, migrant waterfowl, and an occasional seal basking in the sun on the ledges of hidden coves. We’ll focus on the common resident and migratory water and shoreline birds of the region, including photographic opportunities whenever we can.

Conditions and tide permitting, we’ll poke around the mouth of Maquoit Bay and especially up into Middle Bay, two of the richest areas for waterfowl concentrations. If we can find a mass of American Black Ducks, we’ll scour them for a variety of other dabblers, such as Green-winged Teal and Northern Shovelers. Some of our wintering and migratory bayducks, such as Surf and White-winged Scoters will just be arriving, and Common Loons begin to build in for the winter.
