What is this??   On July 21, Hamlin Marine in Hampden, Maine sponsored its first waterfront festival, including a holiday boat parade and a fishing tournament.  We arrived at the public launch just as the boat parade was coalescing.  Once gathered, they headed upriver to Bangor, at a pace so stately that we were able to paddle ahead of them and position ourselves by the Bangor docks.  That gave us the opportunity to call out to all the pilots and verify their chosen holidays.

We use Hampden's Boat Launch frequently as it provides easy all-tides access to the Penobscot River.  One paddle we've blogged about from there is The Canals of Bangor.  In addition to Hamlin Marine, McLaughlin's Seafood has a restaurant and take-out on-site.
