Saturday, June 6, 2015 Whale Watch



2 pm trip - Tammy

We started today's trip by traveling south of Stellwagen Bank. Here we spotted a single finback whale. This whale was making fairly consistent dives and staying on the surface for several breaths in between, giving us some great looks.

As we were watching this finback whale, we noticed we had another visitor: a curious gray seal. We had some nice views of this seal, as it surfaced several times near our boat and seemed to be checking us out.

To end our trip, we headed to the southwest corner of Stellwagen Bank where we got to spend some time with two humpback whales. Both animals appeared to be small, juvenile whales that were alternating between bouts of resting and slow traveling. The laid-back behavior of these animals gave us the opportunity to just sit back and just enjoy their presence. It was a great afternoon on the water!
