More amazing trips off shore, these whales have been very active and great to watch throughout the summer. Every once in a while we see other things out their like basking sharks shown below.
Flipper slapping is one of our fun behaviors to see, these whales use this behavior to try to communicate with other whales and to tell boats in the area that they exist.
Above you will see more breaching, we've been getting spoiled by breaching while we go to Stellwagen Bank. Below we have a Cory's shearwater.
One of our crew members was nice enough to collect a balloon that that was floating at the surface f the water. This allows some of our turtles, ocean sunfish and other animals that eat jelly fish be safe from eating the wrong food like plastic.

Some great feeding behaviors during the afternoon trip. You can see lunge feeding and surface active feeding, followed by straining to get ride of the water in the whales mouth trapping the fish inside and swallowing them whole.
A quick tail breach from one of our whales and also a large group of wilson's storm petrel's flying around the waters surface.
