As Henri departed the area, we were able to get back underway in search of whale activity on Tuesday. As the day wore on the swell dissipated and visibility was on the rise. During the morning trip, three humpback whales were sighted- Quill, Patches, and Shuffleboard. At one point we had whales flipper-slapping at the same time.

Dueling flippers!

Flipper in the air!

On the afternoon trip, we first found Patches and Shuffleboard. These whales were initially swimming independently of each other but eventually became associated. We even got a few flipper slaps!

More flipper-action!

We also spent time with humpback whales Jabiru and her 2021 calf. What a fun surprise, as it has been some time since we last saw this pair this season.
