The outgoing tide was really ripping through this narrow waterway, but it didn't seem to bother the seals at all. US government "NOAA" informs boaters: "Through Lubec Narrows, the incoming tide below the narrows has a velocity of about 4 knots at strength, but in the actual narrows it attains a velocity of about 6 knots during the spring tides. The ebb current in the narrows has a velocity of about 8 knots during spring tides. Below the narrows its velocity is about 4 knots. The strong tidal currents form dangerous eddies on both sides of the channel in the narrows. The duration of slack water in the narrows is only 5 to 15 minutes."
