August 9th on The Atlantic Queen





We did not have to travel as far today as we have in days past, which made us all feel hopeful the whales will move back into closer range. Never the less the day was a very good one. Right by the Isles of Shoals we had our first whale of the day a nice Minke whale. Then we came across some curious Atlantic White Sided Dolphin, from the photo's you can see how close they came to our boat. Further off shore 2 Fin whales were in the distance but by the time we got to them they had left the area. Luckily on our way home we did come across a full grown adult Fin whale, which completed our day of whale watching!
