Despite a generally foggy, wet summer, the Maine lobster boat races drew boats and spectators throughout the coast. Whether it was in the pouring rain in Rockland or in the depths of a Downeast fog in Winter Harbor, lobstermen took to the water with gusto. The races are loud, fun and a summer tradition. And what do the winners get? A year's worth of bragging rights!
