This morning we started our whale watch soon after passing by the Isles of Shoals. A relatively small minke whale was moving about.

After a few looks at this "nugget" we headed further offshore and saw 3 fin whales. We had one fin whale napping and even fin whale #0282 nearby.

Our last whales of the trip were two humpback whales. Hornbill and Gondolier are still spending time in the Jeffreys Ledge area!

We thought our sightings were over but not quite yet. During our trip home we found 5 basking sharks!

This afternoon we started the trip in search of some basking sharks and found just that! We checked out one of these large sharks before heading further offshore.

During our travels we found 3 minke whales and even Hornbill the humpback whale again.

This time on our travels home we let Mother Nature showcase some other impressive sights with the cool cloud formations we saw as the weather rolled out offshore.
