Tonight, Peter Mehegan discovers you can navigate an ocean bay in a ‘69 Chevy. He’s exploring Maine's Casco Bay, dropping in on Chebeague Island, Maine's newest town after it won its recent political war for freedom. Peter also visits Peaks Island, once known as the Coney Island of Maine, discovers why a lack of fish threatens the livelihood of Portland’s fish auctioneer, and learns that nitrogen from lawn fertilizer is affecting the health of Casco Bay. Plus, he gets the lowdown on the world's only umbrella cover museum, where the motto is every cover has a story.
