Sightseeing

One of Big Bob's love are engines, (imagine that, LOL) old and new, so when we saw the Sail Power & Steam Museum in Rockland, we do it was a must do!


Watching them rais the sail on a boat outside the museum


All kinds of  pullies


  
 
 
 

Old outboard motors


 An Old Band Saw


Even a sewing machine


 The have their own ship yard and have restored several old boats


  
And Big Bob - It always has to play


 It was truly amazing - and everything in the museum was found in an od barn and there is still more

Harbor Tour from Camden

This was one of the best things we did.  We took 1 1/2 hr eco tour on the Lively Lady.


She is a former lobster boat and both the captain (owner) and his wife both have a lobster permit. The state of Maine allows each resident 5 pots for personal use.  Part of the cruise includes a 'lobster experience".  Once we got aways, Captain Dom and first mate pulled at trap - just like on Deadliest Catch.




We had 5 lobsters in the trap


This one was too small


And Big Bob got to throw him back - he wanted to take him home anyway and eat him


Three were female so their tails were clipped and thrown back. Females are safe from being eaten if they have eggs.  Once they are caught with the eggs, their tails are clipped to indicate the are capable of reproducing, thrown back in and they can never be harvested.

One one keeper


 After his claws are taped, into the tank he goes.


Boats in the harbor



 And a Yacht Tender

And the best -  Seals like lobster boats


There were seven of them playing


Then on to my favorite parts
