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.
