We just got in from a great trip! The weather is spectacular—blue skies, sun warming the skin, and a perfect breeze to make it all work. We went out to Saddle Island where we saw a bald eagle, which is a sight that never fails to inspire. And in the same trip we also saw great big colony of seals and seal pups sunning on the rocks. It was remarkable visibility; so good you could see Cadillac Mountain. All in all, an exhilarating trip.

It is really starting to feel like summer! It is nice to see Camden’s quiet harbor filling up with the summer fleet of sailboats, yachts and all the rest. You can tell it’s summer because of all the yachts coming into port—some from as far away as the Mediterranean.

Also, the lobstermen are catching the first “Shedders” of the season. I can’t wait to eat one of those… I love them the best, I will always take a soft shell over a hard one. It is definitely summer.
