Readers were impressed with the audacity of Charlotte Gale, a massage therapist from New Jersey, who bought a small island in Maine.
“I think I learned all the different types of fog,” said Charlotte Gale, describing her first full summer as owner and sole resident of Duck Ledges Island, the one-and-a-half-acre rocky outcropping complete with tiny cabin that she bought last year in Downeast Maine.
Indeed, it was an unusually wet summer in Maine, clouding the coastline on most days and turning Ms. Gale into an expert in weather. “I thought it was just fog,” she laughed. “No, there’s a dry fog. And a wet fog. And a steamy fog.”
Ms. Gale’s plans to host visitors on her picturesque island, which sits in Wohoa Bay, a 20-minute boat ride from the lobster fishing town of Jonesport, were done in by the rain. Aside from a mother and daughter who traveled from Kansas, most everyone who had planned to stay on Duck Ledges canceled.
Nevertheless, Ms. Gale spent several nights sleeping in her cedar-shingled cabin, listening to the sounds of the water lapping against the rock ledges. “There’s a lot of beauty out there,” she said, “and you can walk in the beautiful — even in the fog.”
