Classic Maine of July.” Ray Billings, Arundel Beach Feast Photograph by Bob Dennis Sailing on The Gift • First, check with the local fire department to make sure you can have a fire on your chosen 1 1/2-hour cruises beach and obtain any required permits. • Tides can be a factor. If the beach isn't wide enough for the gathering to take place above Private charters the high-tide mark, be sure to check tide charts to see what day and time allow for safe and Perkins Cove, comfortable preparations and feasting. • Scout your location for a generous supply of driftwood, a good selection of stones between 8 Ogunquit and 10 inches in diameter, and ample rockweed. Rockweed grows on stones and outcroppings 207-646-3758 along the shore below the high-tide line. It floats and varies in color from muddy green to golden. Collect this seaweed before the tide submerges it. If you gather it the day before, cover www.sailthegift.com it with a tarp to keep it moist. Five 30-gallon garbage cans full of seaweed should be plenty. • Bring matches, newspaper for kindling, a couple of long-handled rakes, a shovel, a pitchfork, and a canvas tarp. • To serve 12, you'll need at least 12 lobsters, 3 pounds of mussels, 3 pounds of clams, 36 small red potatoes, and 12 ears of unshucked corn. Seas the Day! • For 12 to 20 lobsters, make a shallow pit about 4 feet in diameter and no deeper than two Enjoy a day of fishing or sight-seeing layers of rocks. (Any deeper and rocks on the bottom won't heat sufficiently.) Cover the pit's with Captain Greg Metcalf aboard Striper Swiper. bottom with two layers of rocks, and set aside enough stones for a third layer to be added later. • Pile small pieces of driftwood in the pit's center with kindling underneath (newspaper is easiest) and light the fire. Gradually add larger pieces of wood. (Use logs up to 4 or 5 inches in diameter; larger logs take too long to burn.) Once it's burning well, add the remaining rocks, tossing them among the burning wood. Make sure the fire burns to the outer rim of the pit so rocks get heated. • While the rocks warm up, remove the corn's outer husks and trim the silks but leave the pale inner leaves. Soak the cobs in water to prevent them from burning. • Keep the fire ablaze for at least an hour and a half, then allow the fire to die down a little, about 10 minutes or less so you can rake the fire over the rocks.
