I was a bit surprised to see that the Ugly Anne was no longer going to be in Ogunquit/Perkins Cove. This boat was a "fixture" in the cove to many people, and will be missed by many returning visitors to the area. Not all fished or took the lobster cruises on her but the boat was still a "mascot" of Perkins Cove.

I fished on her back when your husband, Capt. Ken Young ran her and the first mate was "Corky" Decker, who was the son of my high school teacher who later became a friend. We always had a great time on the boat. I fished on her a few times after Capt. Young passed on, and while the crew was very good they could not come close close to Capt. Young's knowledge, skill, or personality. 

The new owner has a very comfortable boat to run his scenic tours on. I'm sure his passengers will enjoy the ride, and the "safe" feeling the Ugly Anne has. Its hard to believe that the Ugly Anne was 35 years old, she always looked great. A compliment to her owner and crew.

Coming into Perkins Cove will never be the same without the bright red and white Ugly Anne to "greet" everyone. Maines loss is Michigans gain.

Planning visit to Ogunquit this July and went online to get your contact information. So Sorry to see you are selling.

My late father in law, Adolph Prussing took his grandkids out on the Ugly Anne several times, so when our kids wanted to go out fishing we called you. First try got rained out, second one, we made it and it didn’t rain till we were headed back. You mentioned I might be bad luck for fishing. Well I didn’t catch anything but the ocean bottom but had a great time. Was so nice dealing with you, so sorry you are selling as I was hoping for another try at catching the big one…… or anyone for that matter.

We wish you the best in your new endeavors. Thank you for your kind services.

You and your husband gave our family many  great memories on the Ugly Anne.  Family has included my husband and I, a son-in-law, two of our sons and two of our grandsons and a granddaughter as well as friends.

We are coming to Maine next month and we, like others, were surprised to hear you had sold the Ugly Anne.  We will surely miss our fishing trips but know that for all things there is a season.

Ralph worked at Vermont Castings in Vermont and brought Ken over a Vt Castings stove one year.  We also encountered Ken at the Egg and I having breakfast before the early fishing trip.

Thank you for helping us create memories and we have tons of pictures to enhance those memories.

Regards,

Sue and Ralph Barrett
