  Enjoy A Nantucket Wonder: Grey Seals on Muskeget!
The Maria Mitchell Association and Shearwater Excursions, Inc. are 
offering a unique Nantucket experience. Observe up to 3,000 Grey Seals 
as they pup, mate, and play on the remote beaches of Muskeget Island. 
View this rarely seen event from the comfort of the heated cabin or the 
deck of The Shearwater, a 47' Powercat. Come join Dr. Bob Kennedy, Maria 
Mitchell Association Director of Natural Sciences and Captain Blair 
Perkins to witness both the grey seal pups and the countless sea birds 
that are common only in these winter months!

Trips are being offered on December 29th, 1:00-3:30pm, and on January 
2nd, 9-11:30am. For more information or to reserve your space, contact

"The study of nature must be study with nature; if it requires one hour 
spent with books, this may be followed by two hours spent in hunting an 
insect in green fields or in gathering shells from sea-washed rocks." 
-Maria Mitchell, 1818-1889
