Crystal clear skies greeted us as we made our way offshore. Visibility was unlimited! As our captain pointed out, we could even see Mount Washington in the very far distance!

We found a humpback whale on our way offshore and watched it for several surfacings before continuing on.
Several small pods of harbor porpoises showed up nearby
before we saw some large blows in the distance.
As we watched one humpback whale, suddenly two more showed
up! The trio hung out for just a few minutes before one of them moved on, leaving
the other two to swim off in a different direction.
As we explored a little more, we found another humpback
whale. To our great surprise, this was the whale that left the trio, but it had
moved significantly in the short time we left it! Wildlife always keeps us on our toes!
Heading for home, we saw yet another humpback whale! With just one quick look in passing, we could ID it as a whale we had last seen about a month ago!
For our birding friends, we saw several northern gannets, great shearwaters, and even a solitary red-necked phalarope!
