throughout the trip feel free to visit the galley down below could be happy to help you out this is first island and Earth Island Lake over 200 years old so I have to go to 1821. making it the seventh oldest lighthouse of the character in Vegas it was also the last one to be automated that happened in 1988 the island got the name burnt Island before the lighthouse was built out there the island was primarily used for sheep gravy so they did burn down all the trees and the rush out there to make room for grass to grow burnt Island and burnt Island Lake let's put our right hand side here now it's beautiful [Music] foreign that red house you see that is owned by this Margaret's Wicked Witch of the West huh is that blow or spout is this that big put in the water that the whale produces when it comes up to the surface to take a breath that's felt will often look like a cloud of smoke they'll hang in the air for about four to five seconds before this case and the size and shape of the spout will change depending on which species of whale is producing it we do have three types that we commonly see here so I'll go over in a little bit we also want to look for that long dark back from the Triangular dorsal fin at the animal the dorsal fin is the fin that sits right on top of the back we want to look for any tails at the surface or pectoral fins pectoral fins are depends on either side of the head we also want to look for any large disturbances at the surface any large splashes as well as large groups of feeding sea birds our first one is the minky whale that's about m-i-n-k-e our Mickey whales grow to about 30 to 35 feet in length they don't tend to produce much of a spout if we do see one it'll be one maybe two feet tall but more often than not when we watch a Mickey we just need the back and the door open and that's about it our next one is the humpback whale humpback whales can grow up to 50 to 55 feet in length their sauce can go anywhere from five to ten feet up into the air typically their Sprouts are pretty triangular or wedge-shaped in the air as well the humpbacks are much more rotunds than our Binkies are they have very rough skin as well so it is a lot harder for a humpback to dive into deeper water it will often need the extra push from its tail to get down there we'll just lie our humpback as the only one of the three wheels we see here that will sometimes bring its tail completely out of the water when heading down on a dive finally we have our thin whale not spelled f-i-n pinwheel the pinwheel is the second largest mammal on the planet they can go up to 70 to 80 feet long they can produce a spout that goes anywhere from 15 to 20 feet straight up into the air no spouts are often seen from one to even three miles away on a clear visibility day we've got great visibility today so if we have any thin walls in the area we should be able to see those spouts from a good distance away from the island is the one Island lights off our two o'clock on the right hand side oh there they are 10 o'clock now so those are Harbor pulses again guys the fog rolled in visibility is not too too far maybe 30 30 feet yeah so we've been out here for almost three hours and it's just been cloudy we did have some periods where we could see further but we've seen a sunfish but that was about it I don't know if we'll come across one we only got about an hour left most of that will be going back to Port so those are Lobster buoys and they said the captain was saying that that's the only thing that they fish up here no crab nothing just lobsters and they fish between two hundred well they fish all the way from like 80 feet 50 feet all the way up to 600 feet in depth um and there's thousands and thousands of them I noticed yeah here comes another one over here a bunch of them they said it could be anywhere from one um pot on it to you know to 15 plus so we're we're learning a lot about Maine we're learning a lot about fishing and lobsters and we did see some Bottlenose earlier I don't know if I got my video we did see a sunfish right no no whales yeah I really like needles in a haystack if you think about it that's a barge the guy was waving the truck I love that sailboat huh one of these days we're gonna do a sailboat like that Don I think it'd be kind of fun yeah I'm talking about that at two o'clock here right we're pulling back into dock so you have to give an a for effort today four hours and we looked at a lot of fog really wasn't much out there didn't even see we did see uh Sunfish right yeah we did see that we don't think we got it on camera though we tried we tried but uh we did get some tickets to come back within the next year and a half so maybe we will make our way back up here I don't know we're gonna try to see a whale one of these days right you want to see one this is just a small setback make us want it even more right we want us we want it more we're going to take a little walk around town here because there's a lot to do you got the Wind Jammer it's a little gift store over there we're gonna check that out and see if they got any any pins and all that and this town is just picture perfect

there and those that's how you get on the island it's not too far away but and they don't take kindly to going on that island that's that's a way to be secluded a beautiful place to be secluded
