July 31- Prince of Whales- Newburyport

Today, our morning and afternoon trips were nearly identical, which is a rarity. Covering a lot of territory on the ledge, we found Pinball, a 21-year-old humpback whale on both trips! In the morning, she was moving steadily to the south, while in the afternoon she was heading east. What makes this sighting extra-cool is that her calf from 2000 (Whirlygig) was seen the past 2 days. Looks like Whirlygig is following its mother's lead on where to go and when!




Pinball!
