Rouge's Roost

Rogue's Roost July 24
We left Mahone Bay with not a breath of wind,on a flat ocean, heading towards Pearl Island. Pearl island is a breeding ground for our  little feathery friends, the Puffins.
Along the way we were greeted by many seals and upon arrival saw dozens of puffins scooting here and there with their short wings just a flapping. After leaving the island and heading towards Rogue's Roost we encountered numerous ocean sunfish. These strange creatures can grow up to 1500 pounds. They looks prehistoric and if you happen to brush against him you're liable to get a bad rash. They had caught our  eye by waving one of their fins out of the water. The first time Steve and I encountered these fish we thought they were a baby whales, but Ben set me straight after I sent him a picture.
Also on route, we saw three enormous  whales, and caught a sculpin. 
It was interesting winding our way into the roost through all the rocks. We tied to a mooring ball and I got out the fishing pole. On the first cast I dragged up a pair pantyhose. Apparently what happens the Rogue's roost stays Rogue's roost.

I also got some mackerel, which we had for dinner.
