A waterway in Maine's Penobscot Bay where people hold an annual sailing-regatta and swig huge quantities of traditional Christmas milk-based beverage.
I really love both watching sailing-yachts and guzzling Christmas-cordial, and so I always make a point to attend da annual festivities at Eggenoggin Reach; da only prob is dat I invariably "go overboard" at said boating-event (pun not intended, but it still works well :P), and so I end up with sunburned eyelids and a major case of eggnoggin afterwards!
