While in Freeport our friends Amy and Tobey took us out on their newly acquired cabin cruiser for a tour of Casco Bay and to dinner at the Dolphin Restaurant. As we were leaving the dock, Lance mentioned that our neighbors on Carter's Creek bring their boat, Moxie, a 49' Grand Banks, up to Freeport each summer. Amy and Tobey recognized the name Moxie and were sure they had seen the boat in the area so we kept a lookout as we left the dock. Sure enough two minutes later we spotted Moxie at the marina and our neighbors appeared on deck. What a small world indeed!
It took a trip to Maine to understand the derivation of the name Moxie. It turns out Moxie is a local favorite softdrink. There are enough Moxie fans to field an annual festival. We purchased a mini can, as shown above, but have yet to try it.
We had fun visiting our friends Amy and Tobey and hope it won't be another 5+ years before we see them again!
