All,
My brother and I launched his 16 ft. Alaskan w/ the 30 hp off the town landing this Sunday in Naskeag (Brookline. . .near Blue Hill) and had a great chance to cruize down into Blue Hill Bay and check out the sea ducks. We saw aroud 50-60 WW Scoters and about 20-30 Old Squaws BUT no Eiders or Golden Eyes.
I locked in a bunch of GPS coordinates where we saw the most birds if anyone is intersted PM me . . . but it would be easier to say they were clustered in/around Flye Island and directly in front of the boat launch. Nothing but Scags in Blue Hill Bay once you pass Sand Point.
Wind was a little strong and upon our return we circled Green Island and really got hammered with 3-4 foot waves most of the way back to the landing. I thought my back would give out if we slammed down on one more. . . glad we didn't bring the dogs they would have gotten POUNDED!
All in all a good scouting trip. We are hoping to hit Megunticook this weekend to check out the resident Geese. . . will keep you all posted.
