点评:For our 45th wedding anniversary, my husband and I boarded the Laura for the puffin cruise to Egg Rock in Muscongus Bay, out of Port Clyde.
The day was bright and sunny with a cool breeze and a gentle bay.
The staff of Monhegan Boat LInes were courteous and efficient; and the tour guide and captain were observant and friendly.
The guide directed our attention to the wildlife: cormorants, several gull species, eider ducks, harbor seals, and puffins! We even saw a pod of white-sided dolphins numbering about 20, an extra treat! She gave us background history about the lighthouses and the many beautiful islands we passed, and answered our questions.
A boathand hauled up some traps and we were learned a bit about lobstering.
The captain also added interesting facts about the boat and a 1600's Maine pirate.
It was a relaxing and refreshing way to spend a special afternoon. Great scenery and wildlife on the coast.

那天阳光明媚,微风习习,海面平静宜人。
莫尼根轮船公司的工作人员彬彬有礼且办事利落;导游和船长则细心周到、友善可亲。
导游引导我们留意周围的野生动物:鸬鹚、多种海鸥、绒鸭、斑海豹,当然还有海鹦!我们甚至看到了一群约20只的白侧海豚,真是意外的惊喜!她向我们介绍了沿途灯塔以及众多美丽岛屿的历史背景,还回答了我们的问题。
一名船员拉起了一些捕龙虾的陷阱,我们也因此对捕龙虾的过程有了些了解。
船长还讲述了关于这艘船以及17世纪缅因州一位海盗的有趣故事。
这是一个放松又愉悦的方式,让我们度过了一个特别的下午。海岸边的风景与野生动植物都美不胜收。
