The annual alewife runs on the Bagaduce Watershed are underway, accompanied by flocks of eagles seeking to get their share of the fish. Also on the water, we have a story and photos on the George Stevens Academy sailing team's major win at a regatta off of Castine. And, our water coverage continues, with details from a recent Blue Hill select board meeting about erosion issues at Seaside Cemetery.
