Maine Marine Plan Keeps Scenic Bath Boothbay Route
Captain Farmer will run a large cabin motor boat on the Bath Boothbay Harbor waterway after the Virginia season ends. The new vessel will carry 35 to 40 passengers and follow a schedule similar to the long-standing Virginia service. The Sasanoa river voyage to Boothbay and the islands remains a public-spirited option. The plan earns praise for preserving the scenic route and patronage is hoped to be strong.
