- A boat ride to the most remote isolated lighthouse on the East coast...36 miles out in the ocean from my port....I see dolphins, ocean sunfish, and miles of open ocean on this trip.....Absolutely beautiful day !
Beautiful John! That's living the life!! Thanks!

Great tour thanks Capt
Thanx for the safe trip and geography lesson Brother. A good mariner with or without Wiggy witcha. Best almost six minutes on YT all day
Maybe your next excursion will be to Bora Bora. Great vid John!
I used to always see orcas out here chasing right beside our boat. very cool to watch. Living on that island would kick ass!
Nice cruise.
My grandmother grew up on a rock like that, Her father was the light house keeper. It was not nearly as remote as that one but still a very hard life. Try raising a family (large families in those days) in a place like that. The light house keeper was a very important job back then, Especially in a storm.

Man just stumbled on to this video....seen a few of your others...what a sweet trip!
pretty cool man!!!!!
Cool footage of the dolphins & sunfish!! That lighthouse was very nice too!!
Great voyage captain!!!! I was hoping for an overnight.
joesneon I intended to, but the tides were running so strong my anchor would not hold my position....Have to try another time.
I grew up at Browns Head Light on Vinalhaven, my dad manned it
Cool vid
my great great .....grand father was the light house keeper out there for 20 years 1882-1902 Thomas Milan. Must have been some wild nights.

I grew up on frenchboro in the 80s I've heard water wash through the floorboards in the living room one storm
*dolphins are awesome unless you're a fisherman of course, that light house was pretty interesting too. seems like it would get flooded out quite a bit being only 20 feet above sea level seems like the storms would pretty much have their way with the place*
DaddytechEnt It has been flooded many times....
lol kinda figured that was why there's no dirt there.
DaddytechEnt I don't have any problems with dolphins.
Must have been pretty intense being a lighthouse keeper back in the day during a huge storm....There used to be a boathouse but it was swept away in a hurricane many years ago....You figure only being 20 feet above sea level at "low" tide, means at "high" tide in this area it could be less than 6 feet above sea level....Then you add 20 to 30 foot seas to the equation, you are hunkering down for dear life in the very top of that granite lighthouse with your family....I don't imagine they would have dared to try ride it out in the wooden structure....And then imagine the forecasting of weather was just you and a barometer....Crazy to think really what they went through !
I think College of the Atlantic has the house now for programs
Do you know what fish those dolphins eat ? Seems they were feasting ? : )
I went to College of the Atlantic and fell in love with Mount Desert Island.
I unfortunately never made it to the Rock though...

They should allow to take one a year. I see dolphins all over ocean. My father said they are good eating
