    Media

  • A sailboat that broke free during the Oct. 30 story on the shore in Belfast.
    November 17

    Planning for effects of a changing climate on Maine’s coast

    My proposed bill builds upon and adapts the model successfully used by New Hampshire. That state set up a commission consisting of a wide array of stakeholders and experts to assess the coastal risks and hazards...

    Media

  • A 1967 VW Camper.
    November 17

    The road trip and the VW camper that made it possible

    The van had no space for a bathroom, of course, but it did have a chemical toilet.

    Phil Crossman

    Media

  • Waves crashing.
    November 17
