A Cape Porpoise Memory by Evelyn Paine

  As a little child, I came to Cape Porpoise, with my dad. As a way of making extra money, he turned out, on a wood lathe, lobster buoys for the fishermen here. "Winky" Perry, of the Langsford Road was dad's connection with the fishermen.  I will always remember going to Winky's little house.  It was as neat as could be and quaintly wonderful to me. I especially remember all of his ship to shore radios.  I was fascinated by them!  I was told that he used them to stay in touch with the fishermen when they were out to sea. He was the head of the fishermen's association at the time. {That is what I was told anyway.}     

 At the time, we were living in Portsmouth.  My dad's work shop was in our back yard along with a few lobster boats that were in bad need of repair.  Looking back, I can only imagine how happy our neighbors were when we moved!

 After many hours of turning and sticking the buoys, dad would load them, the dog, one of my cousins and me into the back of his pickup and off we would go to Cape Porpoise.  After the deliveries were made, my dad would stop at Bradbury's and buy us a "frozen pudding ice cream cone."  This act of kindness was actually an act of bribery.  We were not to tell my mother that HE was drinking a beer or two...on the way back to Portsmouth!  Getting to come to Cape Porpoise, seeing Winky, Goat Island Light and the other Islands, plus stopping at Bradbury's made the deal GREAT to me!

 I made up my mind, way back then, that someday I would live here.  It took awhile, but I have finally made it thanks to my artist husband, Bob!   (When we met, I told him that he belonged on the Coast of Maine, and I knew just where!!!)
