10/21: All the Way East 2

Cobscook Bay, Pembroke: “reversing falls,” at the end of a long unmarked dirt road. Incoming tide, standing waves formed over a barely submerged ledge. Two draggers were working the quieter water upriver of the turbulence, and a small 22 foot skiff gleaning after the draggers: one guy on board, sorting and holding the boat in a back eddy alongside the 7 knot current, one guy below with scuba in water to about fifteen feet. Six or seven seals were fooling around in and under the foaming current. Stayed about three hours: Ernie’s first extended outing since leaving Suttons. Eastport (nap in late afternoon sun) just at dusk, then quick run to Calais for the night.
