Saturday, whether the whales or the weather, we were on one side of the spectrum or the other. We went from two active humpback whales, both flipper-slapping and even a breach, to the same pair of whales napping.

We then checked out a fin whale doing the same behavior; more napping!

In the afternoon, the wind kicked up a few notches, the seas reacted and we found a trio of humpback whales.

We only had one trip on Sunday as our hardy passengers were not deterred by the rain drops. The whales, course, don't mind. They live in water! We spent time with a small pod of Atlantic white-sided dolphins before checking out another mellow, and different pair than the day before, of humpback whales!

We stayed home on Thursday due to the wind and rain and ventured back out yesterday. The ocean was a bit "swelly" and our first couple whales were rather elusive. We then passed by a curious gray seal on our way to a pair of humpback whales being much more cooperative!Our patience paid off! Thanks Slingshot and Equation!

On Monday, after a quick look at a fin whale, we saw 3 humpback whales and a couple of minke whales.

The weather did not allow for a trip on Tuesday, but we were back out today with a minke whale, pods of harbor porpoise and multiple humpback whales in the morning.

This afternoon, we found a few of the same humpback whales, a small pod of Atlantic white-sided dolphins and a fin whale. Known whales include Hornbill, Churn and Equation.

What a beautiful weekend! Minimal wind and a crisp clear horizon is what we wish every day could be. On Saturday, we had a large mellow pod of Atlantic white-sided dolphins and 4 humpback whales including Tether, Equation and Periscope.

On Sunday, we had a total of 4 minke whales, including one just a few miles off the coast(!), and humpback whales Clamp and Sedge.

If only the weather and sightings could continue such as this all season 😃 We will try our best!

School whale watches have been happening all week and whales of all varieties are being seen. Students have had the chance to spend time with minke whales, fin whales, humpback whales and even Atlantic white-sided dolphins.

The temperatures may be warming up on land but remember the ocean is still cool so you will want layers when you join us this weekend!

Another day with more dolphins!

The fog persisted into today. Even in the fog however, we found 2 minke whales and a few pods of harbor porpoise. Then after a brief, but at times heavy, fresh-water rinse the visibility improved. Thanks to our whale watching cohorts we also spent time with Partition the humpback whale.

Unlike 2018, which was a perfect season (100% sightings record), the perfect season for 2019 came to an end today. Today the 'fog monster' won out. We pride ourselves in keeping our readers updated on our trips. While we love to share all the good news, we also don't shy away from the not-so-good news. Today we searched and searched and searched. As can be the case, the fog we encountered varied in thickness and we unfortunately came up empty-handed for any whale sightings. Tomorrow is a new day and will see what Mother Nature has in store for us.
