Barna has retired. His son John now runs the boat (summer only - Mem thru Labor
Day). John Norton, Jonesport, ME (forty miles E of MtDesertIsland),
207-497-5933. Normally, trip takes 8am-2pm, $50 ($20 when no landing is possible
because of wind and tide ; refund when no puffins are seen).
Wear all the warm clothing you possess, even in June. Also, except in a flat
calm (which doesn't occur on the Maine coast), take a Dramamine pill.
