THE PINK LADY comes back into the harbor after a tour in the waters off Boothbay Harbor. Judging by the jackets on many of the passengers, it was cooler out on the ocean than in the harbor on July 3. SUZI THAYER/Boothbay Register

Thursday, July 3, was a hot and humid day in Boothbay Harbor. But the town was teeming with people.
There are ways to beat that oppressive heat, and a lot of people will be heading down to the area this summer to do just that.
On the day before the Fourth of July there were boats of all kinds — sail, motor and party — heading out in hopes of finding a cool breeze, and people walking into town with thoughts of finding some air-conditioned shops and restaurants.
Here are some photos from that day, one of the first of the lazy, hazy, humid ones we'll experience until we start complaining about the cold and snow of winter.
