Our only trip of the weekend was Saturday morning, as the weather kept us on land the rest of the weekend. Just as it has been in recent days, the ocean was full of wildlife. On Saturday, our sightings included at least nine fin whales, one minke whale, a pod of 75 Atlantic white-sided dolphins, four humpback whales, and four basking sharks.

There was so much to check out! Fin whale spouts could be seen in the distance, dolphins were occasionally associated with fin whales, basking sharks were feeding, and humpback whales were lunging through the surface.
