The fall mornings here in Maine have cooled off pretty quickly over the last few weeks. I debated whether to put on my heavy jacket as I walked out the door yesterday morning at 5:00 a.m. For a second I even thought about grabbing my winter hat. I quickly realized that this is only the beginning of the cold weather and if I resort to putting on a coat and hat already, it is going to be a long winter out in the boat. Truthfully, yesterday’s morning temperature of 39 degrees will seem tropical in mid December when many mornings are below zero. That being said I was glad to see the sun break the horizon over the glassy calm water we had yesterday. The sun seemed to be taking its time coming up so I did my best to push it along as you can see in the picture below. Overall, yesterday was another perfect day out on the water here in Maine with plenty of sun and more importantly, plenty of lobsters!
