Wed Aug 26 – Whale Watching

Wednesday, August 26, 2026

We found them again!

This was another beautiful day with unlimited visibility. We headed out towards where we’ve been seeing whales over the past trips and once again found a whale that we’d seen on our last two trips. This whale was first identified in 2024 off Block Island.  We stayed with this whale for some time, it was feeding at about 75 feet down and for diving 8 to 16 minutes. We decided to leave this well and had closer to shore and we ultimately encountered three more humpback whales. Of course, as in the past few weeks we had saw thousands of Wilson storm petrels in clusters of 250 to 500 just about everywhere we went.

4 humpback whales.

1000-1800 Wilson’s storm petrols

100 great shearwaters
