I first attempted to go to Machias Seal Island with the Bold Coast Charter Company in late June, but a multi-inch torrential rain with fog ruined those plans. I made a second attempt in early July and it was well worth the trip. Lots of Puffins, of course, as well as Razorbills and Common Murres. A pass by Gull Island on the way back to Cutler gave great looks at Harbor and Gray Seals hauled out on the seaweed covered rocks.
