Growing up on the North Sea coast of England in a family peppered with recreational sailors and merchant mariners, Dan Bookham came by his love of boats and the waterfront honestly. A Maine resident for 23 years, Bookham’s work as a commercial insurance agent with the Camden-headquartered Allen Insurance & Financial gives him ample excuses to roam around boatyards, marinas, and the working waterfront. Flash, his 4-year-old Australian cattle dog, often accompanies him as he explores. “I feel really lucky to live and work in coastal Maine and I’ve always loved to tell my family back in the UK about the beauty of both our state and the vessels that work and play here,” he said. “Having the always-present cellphone in my pocket means that I’m now able to share photos of the place with them too.”
