Yesterdays Atlantic Queen Whale Watch!

Yesterday was by far the most amazing day of whale watching that I have had as an Intern for the Blue Ocean Society! Almost immediately after reaching Jeffrey's Ledge, we sighted two Humpbacks by the names Owl and Sedge. They stayed very close to our boat, surfacing continuously for almost forty minutes while we got a first-hand look at the whales bubble-feeding. We saw at least five other whales as well, and managed to sight Minke whales, Fin Whales and another Humpback who we did not get a close enough look at to determine which whale it was. All in all, it was an absolutely spectacular afternoon and I am still showing my pictures to people I know!
