It took us about an hour & half to get from Isle au Haut to Seal Island. We then headed about 12 miles south to Seal Island to see a summer colony of nesting puffins there. She brought several books as well people to browse thorugh for additional information. In addition to her work with the puffin cruise, she can be hired to be a tour on Isle au Haut to walk around that lush island. She was able to point out an eagles nest on Isle au Haut, identify the different terns that we saw flying all around, and point out a seal we saw in the harbor. Kathie spoke about the preservation efforts for the islands in the area and about the avian and ocean wildlife that we saw along the way. We left Stonington on the 47 foot long Mink and headed to Isle au Haut to pick up a few more people and naturalist Kathie Fiveash. ![]() It was amazing to see the puffins in their natural habitat. But we still really enjoyed ourselves on the boat ride and watching the puffins bob around in the water and fly around. The weather was a bit crummy that morning and we hoped that it would clear & burn off as that day went on, sadly it did not. Back in February we told her about the gift and we were able to enjoy it during our August trip. When Price and I were on our annual trip up to Maine this summer, we went on the Seal Island Puffin Cruise through The Isle au Haut Ferry for Price’s mom’s birthday. ![]()
