On Saturday we spent time with three humpback whales offshore. Spoon and Victim were associated with each other while Satula popped up nearby.

Eventually, the whales merged, and we got the opportunity to watch a trio of humpback whales synchronize their surfacings and movements.

While we spent time with these baleen whales, a pod of toothed whales swam by. Approximately 50 Atlantic white-sided dolphins were moving through the area! The trip wrapped up with a quick look at an ocean sunfish.

On Sunday, the minimal winds provided quite the backdrop for searching and seeing wildlife. Sightings included four ocean sunfish, a fin whale, three blue sharks, three humpback whales, and a pod of ~50 Atlantic white-sided dolphins.

Even though the whales were doing a good job holding their breaths, we got some beautiful looks at these majestic mammals. Individuals included humpback whales Solo, Pluma, and Satula.
