These days, you never know what wondrous-strange combinations you will find on the coast of Maine. Owls and pussycats. Wine and bicycle shops.
Bachelor lobstermen with children.
And, yes, an artist with a boatbuilder, hand in glove. Sail into Tenants Harbor one fine southwesterly day. Keep Southern Island on your port hand, perhaps following the wake of a fast, black Southern Island Light Station inflatable winging its way towards Tenants Harbor Boat Yard. A dark and grotty scene, Lehtinen's was its name and fishing boats were its game. A woman rowing a Whitehall dinghy pauses to admire the alterations that artist Jamie Wyeth and boatbuilder George Emery have wrought onshore boatbuilding and gear sheds, floating docks, white gravel and paving.
