As a boy growing up in Brunswick, Maine, Braxton Jarratt explored nearby Bailey Island year-round, daring the waves to catch him on the geologic formation called Giant’s Stair and stomping along Casco Bay’s rocky beaches with friends. As an adult, he introduced his own kids, Julia, 17, and Quinn, 15, to rustic island life, renting shorefront cottages in the summertime and visiting his folks in Brunswick at other times of year.
