While in Maine
June 06 , 2008
While in
Maine …
It must be Maine
In keeping with our summer travel theme, once you finish your trip in Nantucket, why don’t you go north a bit and take in the sights
Maine has to offer!
Sheepscott
Harbor
Village and resort on
Davis
Island is likely to offer you that restful get away you’ve been yearning for! And yes, they are pet friendly, so Fido can come too!
They offer Pier and Marine including day slips, deepwater moorings and coordination of boat storage, as well as complimentary use of dinghies.
On Thursday, June 14th, they will be hosting the Northeast Fly-fishing school- offering anyone who wants to get their ankles wet a chance to learn to throw the perfect cast!
And if you want to get off the water for a little while, they have a friendship with the nearby Boothbay Country Club, which has a 4 star rating from Golf Digest!
Maine is a beautiful tourist destination- the rocky coastline, lighthouses, shopping, dining and history offer a little something for everyone! Not to mention, they have the best lobster in the world!
So get off your cheeks and go do something this summer you will never forget, go experience the great state of
Maine!
Make sure to send SplashVision your videos and photos from your vacation! Show the world what a great time you had!
Tune in next week for our Lobster Bake feature.
That’s a wrap!

First Storm of 2008 Kills
June 05 , 2008
Floods kill five in Belize
Tropical Rain From Arthur First Storm of 2008
Flash floods caused by tropical storm Arthur have killed at least five people in southeastern Belize, including a toddler, the government of the tiny Central American country said.
Arthur, the first storm of the year in the Atlantic, dumped over 28cm of rain across Belize this week as it moved inland, also drenching southern Mexican states.
The body of a 2-year-old boy was found on Tuesday evening. His father had struggled for half an hour in turbulent floodwaters before the infant was washed away.
Two people from the southeastern district of Stann Creek were still missing on Wednesday.
Belize, wedged between Mexico and Guatemala with a population of just 300,000, is best known for its laid-back atmosphere, palm-fringed islands and coral reefs.
Torrential rains from Arthur – which have also left swathes of southern Mexico waterlogged – swelled rivers in Belize and wiped away two bridges in the south, severing key transport arteries for Belize's farming and fishing industries.
"This was really a kind of freak occurrence that with the best will in the world, and all the resources in the world, we could not have anticipated," Prime Minister Dean Barrow, who became Belize's first black leader on taking office in February, said this week.
Authorities estimated that 13,000 people across the country were affected by Arthur.
