During our trip to Acadia national park this year, we book the lululobster boat ride (<a href="http://www.lululobsterboat.com/">http://www.lululobsterboat.com/</a>) to expand our adventure. We boarded from Bar harbor dock. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">It was a gorgeous day.

This is our other catch. The photo is self explanatory. It's a female carrying huge amount of eggs. However, these type of lobster must be marked and throw back to the sea by Maine lobster fishing regulations. This is to ensure that we will have enough lobsters to eat in the near future.iLovePastahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14466336149232519088noreply@blogger.com0Frenchman Bay, Maine, USA44.4295336 -68.222259644.4068556 -68.261741600000008 44.4522116 -68.1827776
