The Unbreakable Bond: A Seagull, A Captain, and Goldfish Crackers

In Portland, Maine, an interesting friendship unfolds during the lobstering season. Captain Brian Rapp has noticed a familiar visitor to his boat—a seagull. This particular bird has made a habit of stopping by nearly every day.

On this occasion, tourists enjoying the Lucky Catch lobstering excursion were fortunate. A few days earlier, they might have faced high temperatures due to a heat dome. Later in the week, heavy rain would have surely interrupted their plans.

As the tourists learned about lobstering, they also observed the peculiar connection between Captain Brian, the seagull, and an unusual treat—Goldfish crackers. The predictable visits from this seagull have become part of the charm of the trip.
