Happy Independence day all! The ocean was as flat as flat can be today. What a beautiful day to be on the water. This morning we started our day checking out some bluefin tuna crashing at the surface chasing down some bait fish for a mid-morning snack!

We also saw 5 minke whales, a quick look at a fin whale and a basking shark.

This afternoon we had some curious critters. One of the 4 minke whales seen today spent time doing donuts directly underneath the boat allowing our passengers to just stare straight down into the flat calm seas watching this whale below us!

Minutes later we had a harbor seal swim by and look at all of us looking at it! Mammals watching mammals :)

Before heading for home we even came across a small pod of 4-5 Atlantic white-sided dolphins swimming nearby.
