Although we can not post each and every whale watching trip that we take offshore, we will do our best to post as many as possible. Thank you for your understanding.

May 20, 2012 Whale Watch

We had a wonderful group of students and their teachers from New York join us for a whale watch on Wednesday afternoon.  We typically don't post blog information collected from charter trips, but this charter group requested that we post some video and as well as photos from this amazing trip.



Our naturalist, Leah, did an incredible job narrating the trip and collecting information on the different humpback whales that we observed.  Some individuals were feeding right next to the boat and our captain, Capt. Jonny, did an incredible job of putting us in the right location so we could just drift among the feeding individuals.  At times, we had small groups of humpbacks feeding all around us.  Hard to know where to look!

Were were able to identify many individual humpback whales including: Underline, Etch-a-Sketch, A-Plus, Ventisca, Ampersand, Anchor and her calf of this year, Centipede, Whiplash, and Division.

What a day!  Leah will be sending photos soon!
