Fri Aug 15 – Whale Watching

Continuously breaching humpback whale and so much more!
This summer of exceptional trips continues. Have you ever watched a young humpback whale breach for 20 minutes at 15 to 20 second intervals continuously? That happened to us. We saw this well from 5+ miles away and watched and counted as a breach over and over again until it got close.  It continued to breach and chin slap repeatedly at 15-20 second intervals for a while. Use the link below to see slow-motion videos and photos. We saw Loon, Strikeout, and 4 humpback whales that haven’t been seen before or named. The whales were feeding at/around the sea floor (most likely on sand eels). We had the pleasure of spending 3 hopurs amongst a very active group of whales.  It was tiring, after coming back from our successful offshore trip, just a few days ago. But I’ll take that kind of tiredeness every day.

Come on out and join in the fun, excitement, research, and education!
