Whew, the hands-on part of my work at the Northeastern University Marine Science Center has started in earnest with five consecutive days of low-tide seaweed gathering on rocky shores in Massachussetts and Maine. I spent the weekend with my colleague Val in Lubec, Maine, the Easternmost point in the US, on the border with Canada. It was COLD up there, but beautiful, and it reminded me a lot of the Pacific Northwest where I grew up. Here's a slideshow from Lubec...

Looks gorgeous. Was the water as cold as Puget Sound?
Hey Dad,
Yep, the water was just as cold as Puget Sound; 51 degrees according to the proprietor of a local drinking establishment.

BBRRRRRR!!! I know you'll miss, and be missed in Florida, but I'm sure you'll get a nice dry suit and be ripping it up in no time. Are there windsurfers/kite boarders there?
Looks awesome, James. Good stuff.
Paul- Yeah, there are definitely kiters in Nahant. I think a lot of people drive up from Boston because it's one of the closest nice, sandy beaches. Definitely thinking about a dry suit, or at least an upgrade from the blue and black wetsuit like you, Will, and I got a while back.
Scott & Karin- Woot! Hope parenthood is treating you well. :)
Beautiful pictures James Love the light house.
This is substantially north of where you did your doctorate?
