Island Cruises - Bass Harbor, Maine 2009

We chose the lunch cruise that leaves at 11:00 am. This is a narrated nature cruise that also goes into the history of the Maine seacoast and islands.
It starts off the shore of old fish factory that is now condos. Then on to Bass Harbor Head Light. From there it goes to the small islands of Blue Hill Bay. All along the way are seagulls and cormorants. Bald eagles and harbor seals.
Then lunch at the Dockside Deli in the village of Frenchboro. We had Grilled cheese sandwiches with ham, a container of homemade potatoe salad and 2 cokes for ten dollars and change.
On the way back the captain pulled a couple lobster pots and explained how it is done.
It was a wonderful clear day and we could see for miles. For us, this trip made our vacation.

We saw - Porpoise, seals, ocean birds, bald eagles, lighthouses - on the island which only has 50 people living on it (they make there living on Lobster fishing)

Very Highly recommend - don't get stuck going on a cruise in bar harbor, you will find this place in Bass Harbor.
