12 pm trip - Tammy

It's always a bit sad when the whale watching season comes to an end. But 2015 was a great year and the whales certainly didn't disappoint on our last weekend offshore. Sightings today included about 12 humpback whales (with many more in the area) and 3 finback whales.

Humpbacks and finbacks were traveling solo or in pairs. We started with three lone humpbacks, Etch-a-sketch, Reflection and Bayan before picking up a pair of finback whales just for one surfacing.

We had fantastic looks at a trio of humpback whales who switched from resting behavior, to some active social behavior and back to resting. In this same area were an additional 5-8 humpbacks that we saw from a distance as well as a finback that was swimming quite fast. Whales were everywhere today! On our way home we even spotted a small group of harbor porpoise.

Our last trip of the year will be tomorrow, October 25, marking the end of a fantastic season. Fair winds and following seas to our whale "friends" as they prepare for their winter migration. Thanks to everyone who joined us this year! See you and the whales in April!
