http://maineoceanlover.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
An Ocean Lover in Maine. Exploring Maine one beach, cove, trail, boat, bird, whale, tidepool, lobster roll at at time. Tuesday, April 28, 2015. Geeking out at Owls Head. Getting into it with Kerry and Sarah! It was a rumor that had to be investigated. Somewhere, sometime, I had heard that there were tidepools at the Owls Head Light. Good tidepools. Tidepools worth tromping through. I might have read it in Shumway. I tried to get there just a couple of weeks ago. This is what it looked like in town:.

An Ocean Lover in Maine. Exploring Maine one beach, cove, trail, boat, bird, whale, tidepool, lobster roll at at time. Wednesday, July 15, 2015. Being and Doing, rather than Having. It was a nice house, wasn't it? No, it was an estate sale and the family just needed to get rid of the boat. Was he available to show it this weekend? Sure, Sunday would be great. In the afternoon. Right after I ran 26.2 miles. I crossed the finish line at around noon; tired and cramped after a particularly difficult morning ...

An Ocean Lover in Maine. Exploring Maine one beach, cove, trail, boat, bird, whale, tidepool, lobster roll at at time. Thursday, May 28, 2015. Pond Cove, some big things, and a blogging hiatus. Headed to Kent Island on our caretaker's boat, Island Bound. So I've been a little busy lately. And it shows in the number of blog posts I've been making. But as can happen, life has gotten a little crazy. That hasn't stopped me from getting out and exploring, but has dug into my writing time by quite a lot. S...

An Ocean Lover in Maine: Syzygy
http://maineoceanlover.blogspot.com/2015/07/syzygy.html
An Ocean Lover in Maine. Exploring Maine one beach, cove, trail, boat, bird, whale, tidepool, lobster roll at at time. Wednesday, July 8, 2015. At some point every summer, there is a "lowest tide". Low tides (and high tides) aren't created equal; some are lower than others. This occurs when the earth, moon, and sun are all in alignment - in syzygy. Ain't that a grand word? Three y's, no need for ordinary vowels, rhymes with "misery". I encourage it's use at your next dinner party. This species turns gree...

An Ocean Lover in Maine. Exploring Maine one beach, cove, trail, boat, bird, whale, tidepool, lobster roll at at time. Thursday, July 2, 2015. Canada Day, Grand Manan, and the Greasy Pole. Anticipation built all week here on the island, with students anxiously watching the weather and asking about departure times, schedules, and where to get the best ice cream. So it was a relief when the day finally arrived, and at the crack of dawn, our caretaker, Russ Ingalls, came to get us aboard Island Bound. Of co...

An Ocean Lover in Maine: Reasons to Love Knotted Wrack (Ascophyllum nodosum)
http://maineoceanlover.blogspot.com/2014/07/reasons-to-love-knotted-wrack.html
An Ocean Lover in Maine. Exploring Maine one beach, cove, trail, boat, bird, whale, tidepool, lobster roll at at time. Tuesday, July 29, 2014. Reasons to Love Knotted Wrack (Ascophyllum nodosum). AKA rockweed, AKA knotted wrack. It might seem like a lowly organism, merely a bit player in the drama of Maine's coast. I mean, aren't seastars and lobsters and anemones so much more glamorous? 1 Knotted wrack lives a really, really long time. The intertidal portion of the coast is a very stressful place for oc...

An Ocean Lover in Maine. Exploring Maine one beach, cove, trail, boat, bird, whale, tidepool, lobster roll at at time. Friday, December 20, 2013. Biddeford Pool, Snowy Owl, Cape Porpoise. Do I look cold? Winter can be a really interesting time on the coast of Maine. Saturday we threw on our long-johns and headed south to check out Biddeford and Kennebunkport on a frigid cold day. We figured it was awfully cold for a dog from Florida. To come along, so she wasn't invited. A poor photo of an amazing bird.

A basking shark - immensity and amazingness. (GMWSRS photo - I wish mine came out this good! It is glassy calm on the Bay of Fundy, and the crew of Eucheta. This is how calm it was! We are passing a herring weir on the way out to the bay, and it's hard to tell what's water and what's sky. Are my favorite, but ...
