When weather keeps us on land and the lack of
whales/internet problems frustrate us to no end, all that pent up energy needs
to go somewhere; therefore, a common August pastime is a good, friendly game of
soccer to liven up Lubec life. Soccer captain
and "professional" player Philip Hamilton will rally the troops (sometimes a
group as small as 4 or as large as 14), and we will all head over to the high
school soccer field.

We improvise a bit
without proper goals (water bottles for goal posts) or sidelines (no out-of-bounds), but that is all part of the fun! We regard rules more as guidelines (we are scientists after all!), so
usually halfway into the game, certain people start using tactics more commonly
witnessed during a game of rugby, hockey or wrestling.
But major injuries are few and far between, so fun is had by all.

During the last week of August, when several families of team
members were in town visiting, we marched over to the field and had a great
game that was generously photographed by Bill McWeeny. We thought you all might enjoy a look at what
we do to keep spirits up and laughter plentiful.
