Creator's Key Takeaways

I am looking for some lobster before I get back on the ship. I don't care if they cancel a tour as long as they take me ashore so I can get some lobster.

Made the tendering worth it today. Absolutely an amazing amazing view.

I would highly, highly suggest Far Harbor, Maine. Had a blast.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Bring a jacket because you never know, even if it's 60ish degrees.
If you have a tour, you can leave the ship whenever you want without waiting for an official group.
Check the tide schedule for Bar Island path; you have a 1.5-hour window before and after low tide to cross safely.
