People are drawn to the water, that’s for sure. It’s no different today than it was a century ago. If buildings could talk and wharfs could whisper, you’d come to know the bragging rights of sailors who boast over the fish that got away. The next time you’re in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, gather down around Martingale Wharf where together the Old Ferry Landing sets the stage for open-deck relaxation, warm-hearted conversation, waterfront dining, and an unbelievable view of bobbing tugboats on the Piscataqua River. Listen carefully. You never know the stories you’ll hear.
“A truly strong person
does not need the approval
of others any more than a lion
needs the approval of sheep.”
~ Vernon Howard
“Life has got all those
twists and turns.
You’ve got to hold on tight
and off you go.”
~ Nicole Kidman
“Ambition is the germ
from which all growth
of nobleness proceeds.”
~ Oscar Wilde
“We live in a wonderful world
that is full of beauty,
charm and adventure.
There is no end to the
adventures that we can have
if only we seek them
with our eyes open.”
~ Jawaharlal Nehru
You probably know the Massachusetts village by an Oscar-winning film of the same name that awakened the rest of the world to this sleepy little fishing community. But Manchester-by-the-Sea has been around since 1645. Located along the north shore of Massachusetts Bay, where quaint summer cottages become the coveted home-away-from-home for a season, history is still being made. Such notables include a poet, author, actor, politician, comedian, professional golfer, radio talk show host, and more. The town has several points of interest, like Singing Beach, that adds enough allure to keep people flocking back. Unless of course, you’re one of the fortunate ones who get to live there.
“Faith is taking the first step
even when you don’t see
the whole staircase.”
Martin Luther King, Jr.
