The ocean was pristine all day Monday - such flat calm seas. Monday morning's trip included nine humpback whales, a small pod of Atlantic white-sided dolphins, a few blue sharks and eventually a brief look at an ocean sunfish (after attempting to check out others in our travels!).

Monday afternoon was just as delectable. This time we started with a look at an ocean sunfish just a few miles from shore, followed by numerous humpback whales, two pods of Atlantic white-sided dolphins, and a blue shark.

It's amazing how quickly conditions can change from day to day. Tuesday, the ocean was alive. The wind, catalyzing the building waves, provided plenty of movement on the water. On both trips we saw breaching ocean sunfish and multiple humpback whales! In the morning, we spent time with humpback whales Clamp and Mogul, with others further out on the horizon.
During our afternoon trip, individuals including Pinball, Dross, Satula, Patches and Mogul, were crossing paths with each other.
