Southwest Harbor harbormaster steps down
SOUTHWEST HARBOR You’ll probably still see Jesse Gilley on the water in Southwest Harbor after this week, but it won’t be in his capacity as the harbormaster.
“A job came up that worked a little better for my family and I couldn’t refuse it,” he said.
Gilley, who was brought on by the town earlier this year, has taken a job as a boat captain with John W. Goodwin Jr. Construction, where he’ll run a transport barge to the islands off Mount Desert Island.
“I really enjoyed this job,” Gilley said of his five months in Southwest Harbor. He was sad to leave much earlier than he ever planned, but the new gig was too good to pass up.
