We spent 3 days in Acadia National Park Sea kayaking and hiking. Water was extremely cold (40 F or about 4-5 degrees Celsius), so we all wore our dry suits. On the first day, after wasting a considerable amount of time for a broken kayak rack, we finally paddled for 3 hours around Sutton Island (map here). Waves were fairly big and for our first outing of the year, it was scary. | |||
On day 2, we tried to hide from the wind, so we decided to kayak north of the island up to the welcome center located on Thomson Island. |

On the last day, we paddled around Bar Harbor. Wind was really blowing from the South-East (from the ocean), so we had to paddle to protect ourselves from waves and strong winds of up to 40 km/h. |
