In the summer,  he maybe boating on Casco Bay hauling his lobster traps, flyfishing the elusive ponds and rivers in northern Maine or searching for striped bass in in the colder ocean waters.  If he really is bored, he and Elizabeth head on on the motorcycle to enjoy the beautiful State of Maine in warmer months. Occasionally, he shows up at Higgen’s Beach for surfing the smaller waves for geriatric surfers.
