    How can I give this video two thumbs up ? Loved your family, loved your friends. You have a new fan from Australia. I will leave you with a quote.

    Wow, just really enjoyed meeting your family. Your parents are so sweet, way cool, and I can see where you get your spirit. Your dad's woodwork is AMAZING. They must be very proud of you, as obviously, you are of them as well. Have a safe trip back to Panama. Hope you were able to replace all the items you had swiped.

    Hi Holly, nice to see your parents again after, what? 16 years. We first met in Lunenburg, NS in 2002 where we had just settled. We met again briefly in Round Pond few years later. You might remember us, a European family with 3 kids, about the same age as you on a 35' steel gaffer. We now live on the south shore of Brittany and our kids live scattered in Europe, the girl on her sail boat with partner and baby. Somehow we stumbled upon your video. Fair winds.

    This video brought back so many memories for me. I went to Maine twice every year since I was born to visit my Grand Parents in Belmont (near Camden). In 1953 they bought a small chicken farm and ALOT of acres with an apple orchard. They became self sufficient by farming, hunting and fishing. Connecticut at they time they thought was getting too many people. :) What a place it was and there was nothing like the smell of the Maine coast when we went to the shore. I miss the woods. Your parents seem wonderful and what a beautiful home they built.
