Maine state health officials have given Reilly Harvey, the woman who operates a boat-based business selling brownies and lobsters, a temporary reprieve from requirements that would have shut her down for the season, the Portland Press Herald reports:
She said Friday that an inspector had issued the verbal go-ahead to go back out on the water, with a paper license good for 90 days to follow, as long as she equipped Mainstay with a stainless steel washing basin, a 5-gallon jug of town water (versus sea) and a bucket to drain the hot water into after she washes her hands.
She is also required to carry a thermometer to make sure her coolers stay at or below 40 degrees.
