We drove down the peninsula from Rockland to the tiny town of Port Clyde. From there we took an afternoon boat cruise to see the puffins and seals. Nate and Sean enjoyed the nature show but what the liked most was this massive sea barge parked at the edge of the harbor. This is a giant boat with wheels, originally an army vehicle, that is used in marine construction. It hauls building materials and such to nearby private islands to build luxury homes for the super-wealthy.
While in Port Clyde we went to yet another lighthouse - the Marshall Point Light (aren't you glad I'm not showing you all the lighthouse pictures?). This is the rocky seashore near the lighthouse, with more opportunities for exploring among the crags and crevices.
Then it was time to head home. This is not actually in Maine, rather it's in New Jersey. Yes, amazingly New Jersey has some mountains although they are located in the far northwestern corner. We stopped at a state park on the long drive home to stretch our legs and enjoy some scenery. Then it was back in the car and homeward bound.
