August 9-10, 2025

On Saturday morning, we spent time watching four different humpback whales. We started with Ravine before watching Patches and ended the trip with a pair, Valley and Sigma. There have certainly been whales around, and we are so fortunate to have them still in our area.

 On Saturday afternoon, we briefly saw three fin whales, along with four humpback whales.

While more spouts were out in the distance, we got fun looks at our baleen whales nearby, including Clamp, Valley, Owl, and Sigma.

Numerous sightings continued on Sunday. On our morning trip, we spent time with seven different humpback whales! Individuals included Pinball, Satula, Clamp, Pitcher, Patches, Spoon, and Chromosome.

Can you even imagine how much food is out there, knowing so many whales have been around recently??? Wow. 

On our afternoon trip, the sightings continued as we spent time with humpback whales Clamp, Valley, Owl, Chromosome, and Spoon. 

We saw some breaches, lobtailing, and flipper-slapping from a few of these whales. What a sight and soooooo impressive.

At one point, a minke whale popped up nearby, but the icing on the cake for sightings was likely our nursery pod of Atlantic white-sided dolphins. These speedy toothed whales were zipping through the water, showcasing their incredible maneuverability and adorable selves. 😍
