The calm sea and clear horizon were a perfect backdrop for our trip on Monday. Once we got out to Jeffreys Ledge, we spent time with Ditto, the humpback whale. This whale was doing a good job holding its breath, so we soon pressed on in search of more activity. We next found Wigwam, the humpback whale, and a basking shark. The trip wrapped up with another familiar humpback whale, Pinball!

On Tuesday morning, we took out a great group of students from Gilford. We were so fortunate to start the trip with a pod of Atlantic white-sided dolphins. These whales were zipping through the water, showcasing their speedy movements and providing fun for everyone on board.

We also got a chance to spend time with Pinball, the humpback whale. In a most fantastic, unexpected moment, Pinball breached! WOW. So surprising, most weren't ready (sorry, I didn't get a photo).

During our travels offshore in the afternoon, we first found a fin whale. After a couple of looks, and even a minke whale popping up in the area, we continued out to Jeffreys Ledge.

To our delight, and with a little patience, we found and spent time with Valley, the humpback whale.
