Still Going Strong on the Granite State

As we quickly approach the ending to another whale watch season the whales have by no means slowed down in terms of our sightings. While it seems as though the whales have recently been seen further offshore, closer to the Ledge, we still have continued to see lots of activity. Recent sightings include lots of Fin whales, some days well over 7 different "greyhounds of the seas," Ocean Sunfish, pods of Atlantic white-sided dolphins, Harbor porpoise, a Humpback whale still unidentified and even a Basking shark.

With one more week left to go for our 2009 season we are keeping our fingers crossed that the weather cooperates and we get a chance to explore Jeffreys Ledge as much as possible before we all must wait for May to arrive. Now that it is October there is a definite chill in the air out on the ocean so bring lots of warm gear and come spend the afternoon with us in search of marine animals of all sorts!
