Hurricane Irene brought several days of cancellations for me. Pretty much as you would expect folks either need to stay put or get home and it was simply unsafe to be on the water for a couple of days. No complaints here at all, it got me to thinking about cancellations I have had over the years. As a licensed Maine Guide I am required by law to show up if I tell you I will meet you, not to mention a strong desire to deliver on any promise I have made.
I received a letter last week from the outgoing Governor informing me that I have been appointed to the Maine Tourism Commission and my official appointment papers arrived in today’s mail. The Commission helps to direct the efforts of the Maine Office of Tourism in its marketing and development efforts. The marketing effort includes the state’s tourism web site.
Last winter and early this spring part of my role as the Executive Director of the Maine Professional Guides Association had me working on the fishing part of the Maine Office or Tourism website. Part of that effort has me working closely with Mac McKeever from LL Bean. Mac grew up in Camden and has a great love for smallmouth bass fishing.
