Whale Watching July 9 2017 Whales, dolphins, sunfish, and a sea turtle. What a day we had! An amazing trip-even better than last week’s. We saw 11 fin whales, 500 dolphins, a loggerhead turtle and lots of action and pelagic birds. We were headed to a spot around 15 nautical miles away but began to find whales closer. Our first whales were a cow/calf pair with the calf logging (sleeping) at the surface and the mother was searching for food. This pair we had seen a week earlier 10 miles to the southwest. The calf was logging (sleeping) just under the surface. After a while with them, we headed further out and found another cow/calf pair that were staying close to each other as we would expect because the calf was small and young, diving together, swimming together. The calf…

All in all, we had good action with lots of double headers coming over the rail. Today’s first place pool winner was Neptal Trasporte of the Philippines with a nice 3lb porgy and in second place was Nelson Hernandez of Bay Shore with a nice big 4.5lb sea bass.
