SEAL HARBOR – A memorial service is planned for Capt. Norman Clyde Sanborn Sr. 10:30 a.m. Aug. 19 at Great Cranberry Island Congregational Church. The service will begin and will be followed by a flotilla and spreading of the ashes. All boats are welcome to join their group and Beal & Bunker will have a boat available for friends who wish to participate, but do not have a boat. Boats will meet at approximately 11:45 a.m. at Cranberry Cove and motor to the pool to help celebrate the final voyage of a sailor and lifelong captain who loved the sea. Friends not wishing to join the flotilla are welcome immediately after the church service for a reception and beach farewell at the home of Norman and Kelly Sanborn, where those taking part in the flotilla will rejoin the group. A special boat, The Double B, will be provided by Beal & Bunker Ferry, leaving 9:30 a.m. from Northeast Harbor or 9 a.m. from Southwest Harbor at the upper town dock. A return trip will be provided late afternoon on Beal & Bunker and schedules for both ferries will be available on board. Arrangements by Jordan-Fernald, 1139 Main St., Mount Desert.
