Minke WhaleA couple of minke whales appeared, including the one pictured above. We also saw six fin whales- some were close to us, like this one below, while others were off in the distance. At one point, we were keeping track of 3 different whales, all in the same area!
Fin whale, soon to be identified...We left these in shore whales and ventured out a bit further to find a couple more fin whales, and then something else...a humpback whale! This new addition the the ledge was a bit unexpected since we were getting used to all of the fin whales around. At first, our new humpback friend was being very elusive. I started to think I had imagined it. But finally it reappeared and after several dives, we eventually got a look at the underside of its flukes. This whale is Doric, a 9-year old whale!
Dodging the rain squalls, me made our way back in and kept everyone mostly-dry. Thanks to our great group of whale watchers today for your enthusiasm and patience with Doric!
