Happy Memorial Day weekend! The weather was on our side (mostly) this holiday weekend and whales were to be found. There was a decent swell on Saturday and even bigger swells today but the wind was minimal offshore and searching for whale activity was very conducive. We saw plenty of harbor porpoise, a scattering of minke whales, fin whales, humpback whales and even pods of Atlantic white-sided dolphins throughout the weekend.

All weekend long remnants of bubble clouds were seen from humpback whales. Taken May 25, 2019

On Sunday, we even had a bonus sighting of a basking shark to check out!
