Should you be interested the link below is to Captain Patterson of Culter, ME. Its a 60 minute ride out 10 miles off the coast of Maine, and worth every penny!

Puffin tours to Machias Seal Island from Cutler, Maine - Bold Coast Charter Company offers puffin trips and other coastal sightseeing excursions on the downeast coast of Maine.

Wonderful shots! Shot #4 looks like he was waiting for you to use a hose and clean him up.

We set sail from Culter, ME around 8AM and after a 50 minute ride were on island. With 20 peopel we rotated in three groups (2-4 people per blind) with about 45 minute shifts. That odor was not that remarkable, howeer for the first week of August it was longjohn and glove cold!
