Where did all the time go?! We have officially entered our final weekend of whale watching for our 2024 season. Friday's trip began with a strong breeze from the west kicking up white caps as far as the eye could see. After pressing out offshore we tried to get looks at a few large whales that we had seen by their blows, but to no success as these animals were definitely busy chasing down food or just traveling through the area. Thankfully, while we were waiting for one of our mystery whales, we were also keeping tabs on another whale a little ways away that was coming up to the surface much more frequently. Finally making our way over to the once distant blow, we were treated to some excellent looks at a fin whale!

Whilst we were spending time with this fin whale, a second sneaky fin whale decided to become associated with our original for just a single surfacing before these whales ultimately went their separate ways.
We switched gears to watching this new fin whale until it was time to return back to Rye Harbor. Weather has unfortunately prevented us from heading offshore on Saturday, so we are left with only one last trip on Sunday to give it our all to say goodbye and thank all of our whales for a wonderful season. We can't wait to see you out there!
