454.0. "Maine marinas" by SCIVAX::DAY () Mon Jul 31 1989 13:05

    In Rockland, Maine there is a marina named Knight's Marine.  I stopped
    there Saturday and asked the young lady in charge for gas, ice and
    jalapenos for the ceviche.  She hesitated before saying she could
    help me with the gas and ice but not the jalapenos.  When I asked
    if there were a store nearby, she mentioned the IGA right up the
    street but thought they might be too small to carry jalapenos. 
    I checked out the IGA but, alas, no jalapenos.  When I returned
    to the marina, the young lady told me that if I waited for five
    minutes her friend who had gone for jalapenos would return!  She
    explained that he had gone to get her a sandwich and would look
    for jalapenos for me.  Indeed, in five minutes he returned with
    the jalapenos! 
    
    Not your usual marina.

	Was the request for jalapenos a joke, or are you usually able to have all your non-boat-specific requests of a marina fulfilled? My dictionary doesn't even tell me what a ceviche is. john

	No joke! Ceviche is a white fish (I prefer haddock) marinated in lemon juice, olive oil, oregano, basil, coriander and a touch of white wine or vinegar AND jalapenos. It is my usual fare on board as it is easy and delicious - eat it with tortilla chips. I had bought the fish in South Bristol Friday afternoon and had cruised up to Andrews Island along Muscle Ridge Channel for the night (in my 15' Lyman), dropped anchor, chopped up the haddock in cubes and made the ceviche and stored it in the cooler. While floating around Pleasant Island Saturday morning it suddenly dawned on me that I'd forgatten the jalapenos!!! So I thought Rockland would be the best bet and went to Knight's Marine. Sidenote - non-food subject: the next night I was on my way to Damariscove Island and passed a sloop barely making headway in the 1-2 knot wind. As I passed he waved me over and asked if I could radio the Coast Guard to call his wife to tell her he would be late because his engine was overheating and he was removing the thermostat. I didn't have my radio but told him I'd tell a boat in Damariscove to call. I stopped at the first boat in the cove (a forty foot sloop) and relayed the story. When I told him the sailor in trouble was off the White Islands, he looked at my boat and me, paused and asked in an incredulous tone, "Have you been cruising?" "Oh sure" I replied, "came up from Penobscot Bay this afternoon. A bit rough in spots but not a bad trip." (Northly winds and thundershowers had kicked up quite a chop!) I think my Lyman (made from wood from trees back in 1958) is about the smallest cruising boat on the coast - I've been from Portland to Cutler.) /Ben
454.3	Jalapeno Update	CTCSYS::DAY	My hovercraft is full of eels!	`Thu Jul 26 1990 14:41`	11
	I KNOW all you coastal cruisers are wondering about the availability of jalapenos in Boothbay Harbor.... well, as of last weekend, Carbone's Boothbay Fruit Factory did NOT have any jalapenos! I know it's hard to believe but it's true! So don't forget your jalapenos! Ceviche with crushed red peppers just doesn't make it. signed, Admiral Throat-warbler-Mangrove, ret., deceased etc.
