Comments: The Cruise ship Queen Mary for the Cadillac Mountain portion of the "Walk in the Park" . Today was a 100 mile day.... amazing! We could see Machias Sea Island part of the US with Canada. This Island is owned by the Norton family of Jonesport, or the US or Canada depending on who you talk to... In reality it is owned by the Puffin and Razorbills that live there every summer!! We could also easily see Mount Kadahdin and the home of Pamola and the great Owl.... Mount Desert Rock and Petit Manan were all easily seen today making it a memorable day all around.
