Getting ready for the 2013 season

Posted on May 8, 2013 by The Captain's Wife

Ah, I have been neglectful in posting over the winter. The winter was long, long, long and very cold. You may not know that I am a commercial diver (I dive for urchins that get sold in the overseas market). This can be grueling work, as you can well imagine. Now that we have finally thawed out here in Harrington, I have converted the boat from a working vessel back to a touring vessel. We are working hard to make sure that the Kandi Leigh is in tip top shape for the tours we have set for Mother’s Day weekend. Let’s hope Mother Nature cooperates, looks like we may be in for some rain. We are grateful to have another season ahead of us and hope that you join us aboard the Kandi Leigh.

Family adventuresAh, The Robertson Clan enjoying time on the water together! What an amazing summer so far! The boys are growing up right before our eyes and have developed a true love and respect for the ocean. We are very fortunate!

We are planning a Lobster Bake on Flint Island soon. Have you thought to have your family out with us on a end of summer adventure?

BREACHING BUDDIES!

A breech!

This is NO JOKE! Captain Parker, aboard the Elisabeth Rose today, was out with family and friends. Captain Parker runs whale watches with us. He saw TWO HUMPBACK whales BREACH side by side! Can you imagine? He had never seen that in all his years on the ocean. I have never seen a breech myself..this is the Captain’s Wife posting…(a breech is when the whale literally launches itself straight up into the air and crashes back down into the ocean.)  I have not seen any photos from today, but the above photo is from a whale watch with us awhile ago. Whales a-plenty out there now!

Comments from Passengers

“Captain Robertson could not have been any more gracious or accomodating.   He is a knowledgeable guide, making sure we got great photo opportunities for puffins, bald eagles, osprey, brown seals, harbor seals, terns, razorbills – you name it, he knows where they are and will be happy to provide great factoids about them all.    
 
He will provide some gorgeous scenery, including lighthouses – and don’t miss out on
the island lobster bake!    He catches them & cooks up  a lavish spread while you hike and explore a gorgeous private island. He is an excellent host and takes care of everything.
 
He is honest & fair – just a great guy.
 
Whether a short trip or full day,  you should truly enjoy your time with Robertson Sea Tours!   -Next trip to Maine, these Texas landlubbers hope to book another adventure!” 
 
    
 
Take care!    Cindy Lewis

Flint Island Adventure

Posted on June 13, 2012 by The Captain's Wife

Great Day out at Flint Island Sunday with the family. Got the picnic table loaded and transported on the island. All set up and ready for summer lobster bakes and adventures. The boys Brody and McKade explored and found treasures while Kandi and I cleaned up the island a bit from a winters worth of storms. As a family we had our first ride on the new boat the Kandi Leigh. Now if I could just get some photos to download!

The Kandi Leigh

After a long arduous journey to bring this vessel back from Cape May, NJ this Spring, we have finally launched the Kandi Leigh. The Captain could not be more thrilled! The Kandi Leigh is a 28′ Maine built lobster style boat. Appropriately named after yours truly, we are more than ready for the 2012 season!
