ANTHONY: WE ARE IN PULPIT HARBOR ON THE ISLAND OF NORTH HAVEN, A BUSTLING SUMMER COMMUNITY, BUT ONLY 350 YEAR-ROUND RESIDENTS.
MANY OF THEM ARE FISHERMEN.
TODAY’S SUPPLIES GUEST IS A LOCAL WHO ARRIVES IN TRUE ISLAND PASSION, BY BOAT AND CARRYING THE FRUITS OF HIS LABOR.

>> WE HAVE A LOT OF NEST IN MAINE.
96% OF THE POPULATION NEST RIGHT HERE AND IT IS IMPORTANT THAT WE PROTECT TEM FOR FUTURE GENERATION.
ANTHONY: WE TURNED SOUTH AND MOTOR BACK TO THE 148-YEAR-OLD STEPHEN TABER.

ANTHONY: WE SPOT FAMILIAR BIRDS THAT WE DO NOT WANT TO DISTURB, LOVEBIRDS.
>> WE SAW THIS OPPORTUNITY AND DECIDED, WE ARE GOING.
ANTHONY: IT MIGHT SEEM AN ODD CHOICE, BUT THE STORIES BECOME PART OF THE ADVENTURE.
