Wednesday, August 1, 2018
How is it already August? Time flies when you spend your days searching for and watching whales! This morning we saw at least 10 minke whales, 7 fin whales and 3 humpback whales. At one point we were surrounded by 5 fin whales with spouts appearing in all directions around us.
Our humpback whales this morning included Pitcher, Abrasion and Ebony. Pitcher was occasionally being active at the surface lunging through bubble clouds, tail-lobing and flipper slapping. Abrasion even got in at the fun for a moment and was flipper slapping out in the distance too!
This afternoon we started the trip with Hornbill the humpback whale steadily traveling along.
We were also fortunate to spend time with a group of 100 Atlantic white-sided dolphins spread out all around the boat.
At one point, right in the middle of all the dolphin action, a harbor seal popped up close to the boat. It checked us out, we checked it out and then off it went!
Before heading for home we also saw a pair of fin whales moving around the area. Every trip always provides its own experiences!
