Tuesday on the Prince of Whales

What a day today was, "A GRAND SLAM" We started off with 2 harbor seals resting in the Merrimac, looking very cute and relaxed. We also had harbor porpoise in two different groups, they were being very good and giving us some nice looks, they normally are quite shy! The seas were calm, and a gentle breeze moved us to a Mola Mola (Ocean Sunfish) who again seemed to want to come over to the boat and meet us. In the distance a mother calf fin whale dropped by and we saw the enormous mom with what looked like a small calf but are quite big 21 feet when they are born. There were several other finners around which came nice and close to the boat, as seen by the photo! We ended the day with Atlantic White Sided Dolphin. I also learned an awful lot about birds today thanks to Dave Larson of the Massachusetts Audubon Society. Thanks to Vanessa who adopted "Flask" today and all the other passengers who supported our efforts today!
