The ocean continued to calm down as the day progressed today and with minimal wind all day long we had nice conditions for spotting whale activity. This morning we saw 3 fin whales, a minke whale and 5 humpback whales. Our minke whale and fin whales were being a bit elusive but we still could appreciate the size of of these whales.

Our humpback whales, while they were remaining underwater for a bit of time, were not moving far from the area. Some of the visitors included Satula, Littlespot,
Piña and Lascaux; a few being seen for the first time in our area this season.

This afternoon we first checked out a large fin whale before coming across a mother-calf humpback whale pair.

Our humpback whale pair were slowly on the move and we were extremely excited IDing this pair quickly as Valley and her 2017 calf!

After that we got the opportunity to see
Piña and Littlespot still swimming side by side each other and a quick stop on Satula still circling around the area before heading home from Jeffreys Ledge.
