Monday was as calm as the ocean could ever be! And we lucked out with the timing of a couple thunderstorms- one passing by just before we boarded, and another on its way as we arrived back at the dock! The calm seas made for perfect conditions for viewing marine life, including a pod of Atlantic white-sided dolphins!
We got a quick look at a blue shark in passing before finding a lone fin whale.
As we approached Jeffreys Ledge, we could see multiple blows! At first, there appeared to be a group of several fin whales together. Then a pair of humpback whales surface. Before we knew it, we were watching a group of five humpback whales plus four fin whales all together! Crazy!
On our trip back to shore, we saw a couple more blows, likely from fin whales, in the distance, as well as more Atlantic white-sided dolphins.
Great day!
