The winds finally slacked off enough allowing for us to go searching for whale life again this afternoon. Our travels took us past multiple Minke whales, 4 in total, getting looks at a few and seeing others out in the distance.

We also were fortunate enough to spend time with Fin whale #9709.

This whale was first sighted by our research affiliates the
Blue Ocean Society for Marine Conservation in 1997! This whale has been seen a handful of times already this season so it is great knowing this whale is still sticking around our small portion of the Gulf of Maine.
