Seal Snuggles

Harbor seal candid on Jordan Island 

Once we finished up our dinner in bar harbor -consisting of BLT’s don’t tell Dale- we drove to the sunset cruise at Acadian Boat Tours. We knew we had a chance to see wildlife on the cruise but no one expected to see it before we even left the dock! Kira was looking through her “binos” at a nearby island and she spotted a moose! That was only the start of our incredible luck spotting wildlife on the cruise. When we boarded the sunset cruise I knew I had one goal for the night- snapping the best seal picture ever. I risked it all, white knuckling my Cannon camera over the side of the boat. Then we found a whole herd of seals on Jordan Island, all snuggled together next to each other. And I got it! I took some pictures of adorable harbor seals as they sunbathed and galumped down the rocky beach. I also realized that they snuggle together because the air on the coast was freezing. Kate, Libby and I snuggled up to stay warm, so not only did I take a picture of a seal I became one for a second.
