A beautiful day on the Atalntic Queen


What a day on the water! We could see for miles, calm seas and great passengers from Austria and Bangladesh. We didn't have to travel as far as days past which made our crew and passengers very happy. Our Humpback whale today was very busy below the water searching for food. This whale stayed down for 16 minute dives each time it went down but each time it came up to breathe the breathes increased. Regardless of how long it stayed down it was wonderful to spend time with this animal. We had ALOT of tuna in the area luckily for them no tuna boats to be seen! We did come across a small pod of Atlantic Whit Sided Dolphin, always a joy to see. Our summer intern took the reins today and spoke to our sold out crowd, nice job Jenny! Michell Olsen got a great sample of plankton at the dock and again 23 miles off shore and passengers were amazed at the microscopic plants ans animals whales eat!
