Beautiful Wednesday on the Prince of Whales

What a gorgeous day today! Sunny skies, calm seas, and lots of whales! We first stopped on a couple of finback whales that weren't all that cooperative. One was an old friend, Dingle (#0369) but he was racing to the west and we still needed to go east, towards the Ledge. So we left Dingle and kept on cruising. We came upon a flurry of activity- multiple fin whales in the distance, minke whales scooting about, and a pair of humpbacks- Tripod and Chromosome. These two have been hanging out together for at least a week now which is a bit unusual as humpbacks are typically solitary, or normally only form bonds with other whales for the short term!

Anyway, T and C were bubble feeding and Chromosome was coming up really high out of the water! I don't think I could ever get tired of watching whales eat!


We also finally got a great close look at a finback whale just before we had to head for home. I'm not sure who this whale was but will consult our catalog tomorrow and attempt to find out.



Thanks to all of our wonderful repeat passengers today, as well as our new visitors from England, Germany and Italy! Hope to see you again soon!
