This morning, we began by seeing two of my favorite humpback whales, Spoon and Valley.

A few harbor porpoises were nearby, as were some distant fin
whales. Then we found a pair of fin whales- it was a mother with her calf! This
particular calf has been very curious of boats and today was no different. The
youngster came up right along side us, surprising everyone that this was the “calf”!
It’s a pretty big baby whale!

A minke whale and a pair of harbor seals were also in the area. We also found a couple more humpback whales including Satula, one of our favorites!

A pod of Atlantic white-sided dolphins galavanted around us for a bit, and then two more fin whales were seen before we headed home.

This afternoon, we saw Satula again!
Another fin whale showed up- this is an individual we have seen multiple times this summer!
A pair of humpback whales were snoozing at the surface, and
really didn’t care at all that we were watching them sleep.

And then another mother/calf pair of fin whales!! This pair was different from the one we had on the morning trip.

Such a lovely day on the ocean!
