Saturday's weather was gorgeous, and we had at least 6 humpbacks concentrated in one area. They were all milling around feeding under the surface! The whales were all ones we've had in the area recently, including #0803, #0806, #0807, #0811, #0817, and two whales who actually have names, "Gavel" and "Rouge"!
In the hazy, humid weather, we also had an unusually huge amount of bugs aboard the boat, including a monarch and dragonfly on the top deck for awhile - 15 miles offshore.Over the weekend, the whales ate a lot, too, and we got to see LOTS of whale poop:
On Sunday, the weather was foggier, but there were several humpbacks in the area, including #0811 and Rouge. We were also treated to a sight of 50-75 Atlantic white-sided dolphins, who leapt in the air several times.

There were several mother-calf pairs in the dolphin pod, and the moms brought their calves right next to the boat- always a wonderful sight!
