We're going to see the puffins in July!

[Croney]

My BIL is a birder in Missouri. He and my sister are joining us on a trip to Bar Harbor, Maine. We will then drive an hour and take a tour boat out to islands where (they promise) the puffins will be. Has anyone here done this? I'm happy to go, but afraid I might be seasick. It's a small boat.

1. Get Seabands at the drugstore and take

Meclizine 24 hours before you go out.

3. Puffins yes !

You will see them, the weather is going to be your biggest unknown.

I have a cabin in Cutler which may be where you are headed for the trip, and the temperature can vary by 10-15 degrees if the wind changes so it's coming over the water and fog is always a thing.

It'll be a great trip, hope the weather is good and you never know where the fog will be, so fog when you leave means nothing.... very fickle weather.

How far in advance did you get your tickets ? They are usually booked for the whole season quite quickly.

Look for the Cutler array.... 19 towers 1000' tall, hard to miss on the coast ! Looks very out of place....

4. We drive to Steuben, and it's a two-hour tour out of

Pigeon Hill Bay to Petit Manan Island. I booked about a month ago. Thank you for the tips and the info!!

Have a great time, and we'll be here waiting to hear all about it!

9. I've gone out of Cutler. Fabulous time, lots of birds

Candied ginger is the best remedy for sea sickness. It’s even sold at some dock shops. Tastes good, too.
