Lobster Lab

Well, we have settled on Thurston's as the best lobster pound to have fresh lobster just harvested from the sea. Jim had a hard-shell two-pounder while Mary's soft-shell specimen weighed in at 1.2 lb. Thurton's is one of those "rough-it" places right on its pier, but is much nicer than Beale's where we were the other night.
Before that we took a delightful 2-hour nature cruise in Blue Hill Bay on Mt. Desert Island. We saw plently of seals, cormorants and even some bald eagles and a porpoise. Other birds too. We even stopped to check the captian's lobster trap which had captured two cfrabs and three lobsters.
And, we had an enjoyable picnic along the water before the cruise.
The weather was beautiful thorughout the day.
Tomorrow, its the Cat, the ferry to Canada.
