Machias Seal Island – Bay of Fundy
A US – Canada Territorial Dispute
In this day of automated lighthouses serviced by helicopter Canada keeps a lighthouse keeper at the Machias Seal Island light to maintain sovereignty and a record of continuous habitation.
On this particular day the swells were too high to attempt a landing. Had to content myself with shooting from a rolling, pitching and surging boat.
The Grand Manan lobster fishery experienced its most profitable catch this past season.
The out and back journey of 90 minutes each way gave me a gut appreciation for making one’s living at sea. My vestibular system was sorely disrupted. Even a day later as I sit here I still feel the pitching and rolling and am slightly nauseated.
Another good reason to live in the mountains.
