This weekend, we were "treated" to fog. Plenty of fog. As fog likes to do, it comes and goes in varying thicknesses, and we saw all its variations. On Saturday morning, we checked out Spika, the humpback whale. Many thanks to our fishing friends for letting us know this whale was in the area!

The fog was rolling in and out, shifting more in than out as the day progressed... On Saturday afternoon, we headed back out to Jeffreys Ledge. The blanket of fog enveloped us during the entire trip. Even so, we got a chance to check out an ocean sunfish and a minke whale.

| The fog has a mysterious beauty to it, especially when vessels seemingly appear (and disappear!) out of nowhere 😊 |
On Sunday, the fog was waiting for us in varying levels again. The morning trip started with a "life" whale for most of our crew. A small pod of white-beaked dolphins was spotted! These whales are rare in our area. What a surprise to find!

We also spent time with three different humpback whales - Spika, Sedge, and Satula.

On Sunday afternoon, our fog-friend was waiting for us offshore. While out on Jeffreys Ledge, we had a very brief look at a humpback whale diving, but we were unable to relocate this individual. Many thanks to our passengers who helped look and listen to find it again!
