July 13: BOAT CAMP on the Erica Lee




So we were supposed to go to the Isles of Shoals today and haul lobster traps. Well, that was the plan till I heard about some humpback whales 14 miles off the beach. The wind and seas were just right, and I had clams on board. So I turned east and headed out to sea. We came across a very curious Mola mola (ocean sunfish), humpback and Fin back whales and we caught a few cod, cusk and spiny dogfish. Not a bad way to start the week!
