Nova Scotia

Many observers in Maine noticed a bright streak across the sky on Sunday evening. Here is what most people believe it was.

Most of Hurricane Dorian's power will stay out to sea, but portions of Maine will feel some of the effects on Saturday

It sounds like a horror movie. Angry green crabs taking over the coast of Maine. It's real and this things are aggressive.

This lady was holding a Pee Wee Herman doll and taking pictures over his shoulder. Everyone was staring, but nobody had the nerve to ask her what was happening. Except for me. It was kind of weird, and weird is sort of my thing.

Traveling is interesting because I enjoy trying local foods. I've eaten fried larvae and fish eyes in Thailand, swallowed tequila worms in Mexico and enjoyed cachapas in Venezuela. When my friend Calvin suggested that I try a local Nova Scotia /Acadian Shores delicacy I agreed right away...

Our trip to Nova Scotia was amazing and the hospitality that we experienced made it so hard to leave. Our Canadian neighbors throw a killer lobster boil, it becomes even more magical when it happens at a lighthouse!

Bay Ferries, The Cat, is all about hospitality. You won't go hungry during your 5 and a half hour trip from Portland to Nova Scotia. Here's a peak!

Canada, our good looking neighbor, is so close that we can pass a hot pie fresh out of the oven from one kitchen window to the next, but we still need a passport to visit each other. Where does a Mainer get a passport? I had to renew mine to take The Cat Ferry to Nova Scotia.

I love any experience that makes me feel as if I've moved back through time, Le Village Historique Acadien was beautifully authentic! This is Bernie the Blacksmith; part philosopher, part artist, part tool maker. I could have listened to him all day, he has such a beautiful accent...

The Shanty Cafe isn't just a restaurant, it's a social enterprise that provides meaningful employment to people of all abilities. This is Michael, he met us at the ferry terminal with fragrant, hot international food. Michael is passionate about their philosophy regarding their employees and also their commitment to the environment...

This is Capt. Matthew Burns. He is not a model, he is the real Captain of The Cat, and has been for two years. Captain is from Lake Tahoe, California and is as nice as he is good looking. Not to mention that super capable brain under that head of perfect hair...

Yesterday I landed in Nova Scotia with 4 other Townsquare Media Portland DJ's. We took The Cat from Portland to Yarmouth, Nova Scotia and the topic of conversation for most of the 5 and a half hour trip was the lobster boil awaiting us when we got to our hotel, Ye Olde Argyler...

This is my hand painted Dave Grohl wine glass. I take him with me when I'm wearing my party pants, they are definitely an important part of my wardrobe aboard The Cat! I'm kicking back enjoying a glass of wine from the Forchu Lounge with my guy Dave, listening to sea shanties by Celtic Rant and deciding if I want to check out a flick in the movie area a little bit later...

Vernon d'Eon is a low key multi-millionaire thanks his invention of the Lobster Plug! This little piece of wood gets wedged into a joint in the claw to keep lobsters from snapping lobsterman's digits off. Brilliant! Vernon is a charmer and the owner of the restaurant that we had lunch at in Nova Scotia called Dennis Pointe Cafe...

We are underway! The Cat is a high speed super-cool ferry cutting through the water to Nova Scotia! The band is Celtic Rant and they are setting up now! This is the purser with my friends Lori and Nikki. The staff is fun and very welcoming...

I am about to embark on a sea journey! On Saturday I'm taking The Cat High Speed Ferry to Yarmouth, Nova Scotia with a group of friends from work. It takes just 5 and a half hours to Nova Scotia from Portland! On The Cat we will jam out to their house band, Celtic Rant, enjoy food, drinks, a gift shop and a movie room...
