Explore an historical Maine coast island, with its nature trails, public tennis courts, working lobster boats, beaches, public sailing club, golf course, town park, island markets and restaurant (I think there is only one, don't expect sprawling malls) and freedom from traffic. Situated in some of the most awesome sailing water in the world, in its cemeteries rest sea captains such as Captain Vezzie, who build our farmhouse. 'One summer in Dark Harbor [Islesboro's Center] is worth a dozen summers abroad,' wrote Charles Dana Gibson, America's most famous turn-of-the-century illustrator.
