Today was another memorable day on the open ocean. Today we started our trip with a pod of 75 Atlantic white-sided dolphins. These whales were steadily on the move as they surfaced on either side of the boat.

Out on the ledge we saw two minke whale and three humpback whales. Our first humpback whale is a Blue Ocean Society
adoptable whale: Hornbill!

The day ended with a mother/calf humpback whale pair. We were able to identify mom as Dross. While mom fed near the surface her wiggly calf maneuvered around and even breached for us at one point (unfortunately not capture by camera)!
