This morning, we found 3 minke whales, 2 fin whales, 1
humpback whale and a harbor seal! Quite the variety! One of our fin whales was
a new favorite, known as “2- Scoops”, as named by the famous Will Cioffi. The humpback we saw was Satula, a long-time favorite
and one of Blue Ocean Society’s adoptable whales! We haven’t seen him in about
6 weeks so it great to see him again. Satula was feeding and repeatedly
surfaced close to our boat.

This afternoon, the wind started to blow, making for some
seas that were not all that comfortable for watching whales. We started off our
trip with a very active juvenile minke whale. This little guy must have jumped
out of the water at least a dozen times!
Two more minkes were spotted briefly before we made the decision to turn
for home before conditions deteriorated even more. On our way in, we cruised
through the scenic Isles of Shoals before arriving back in Rye.
