Amazing stuff!


Today we were treated to the extremely rare sighting of 4 north Atlantic right whales. As Jen posted below, right whales are highly endangered so to see just one is a special event. One right whale was particularly active and jumped out of the water a couple of times, much to the delight of our visitors. Some researchers suggest that right whales may only be around for the next 50-200 years so we really felt privileged to be among them today.
