What a beautiful day offshore!
We passed by a harbor seal and some harbor
porpoises on our way out to our first sighting. This was a humpback whale who
was just lounging around and never lifted its tail. Still not sure who that one
is at the moment but we can likely match up the dorsal fin if it has been
around and identified before.
Further
out, we found another dozen humpback whales, some minke whales and a pod of
Atlantic white sided dolphins!
Although
most of the humpbacks were staying down for 10-12 minutes, there were enough
all around us for us to be almost always watching whales, either close by or in
the near-distance!

Spoon and her calf
were hanging out with Jabiru yet again, and at one point, A-plus and Chablis
joined them!
Geometry was around as well
as another single whale I haven’t identified yet but know we’ve seen earlier
this season.

Then, much to our surprise,
we found Owl, one of
Blue Ocean’s adoptable whales! This is the first time all
season we have seen Owl, although we had reports of her off of Bar Harbor
recently. Glad she’s back in the neighborhood!

Continuing on, we found another 4 humpbacks together: churn, Spar,
Partition and Spell!
Fantastic Day!
Happy birthday to Oliver and Karen!!
