This morning the seas were a bit choppy after some northeast
wind overnight. But our hearty group was rewarded by some great looks at lots
of whales! Humpback whale, Owl, was seen yet again today!! Although she was not lifting her flukes
often, she did swim by closely, and even followed us out to where we found some
fin whales and a minke whale. The fin whales were taking short dives as
well and coming up close by! As we
continued on to check out the blows around us, we kept finding Owl. She was on
the move today! Eventually, we made our
way to another humpback whale- Pinball and her calf again today!! Seems that
these whales are sticking around! The calf did not disappoint and was as active
as ever, breaching, tail breaching, tail lobbing, etc. So much fun to watch an
active youngster!

This afternoon, the seas were still a bit wiggly (yes, that’s
the official term :) ) but we spent some time with 2 minke whales, 2
fin whales and 3 humpback whales!! The huge fin whales were on the move so we
weren’t able to get close looks, but we did see the minkes close by, and most
certainly the humpbacks! Hornbill was taking short dives and we saw his tail
several times. Pinball and her calf stole the show (baby whales are just so
cute!) as the pair just zigged and zagged at the surface, not seeming to even
know that we were there! Such a beautiful sight!
