There’s only two of ‘em on the island: boatyards. Brown’s is the only boatyard where you’re going to find gas, and tools, and showers. Gas for your car. Gas for the boat. Lobsters. Moorings. The red wharf structure houses a wood shop and boat repair and maintenance facility. And the hardware store. Also rope — a whole room full of rope — measured by the foot. A very useful place when dealing with boats. An institution that once had a hopping bar and restaurant — that petered out, unfortunately. Wear shoes and bikes get crushed. Brown’s will ferry you to Vinalhaven too.
