New England in the spring & summer


 
Planning a trip up along the Maine coast this spring or summer? Maybe a trip to Arcadia National Park?

Lot’s of exciting things to do in that area. During one of our visits we went to Bar Harbor and went out on the large New England ground swells to do some whale watching. The seas were calm that day and the local seal population was mostly all basking along the shores as we entered the Atlantic Ocean in our quest to watch the Humpbacks dive for food.

Our guide was a seasoned whale watcher with graduate degrees in Marine Sciences. She had been following the Humpbacks along the Maine coast for more than seven years and knew the names of all that we saw that day. She had pictures and drawings that identified them individually.

Here are a few pictures of our adventures that day. You can click on any of them to make them larger.

The last one was taken from Cadillac Mountain of a four master you can also take a day cruise on.
