Saturday on the Atlantic Queen

Having been at to the dock for several days, it was wonderful to get back out on the water. Our first stop we had a Minke whale with 2 Sei whales, these whales were on a mission, traveling at great speeds. We did get a couple of looks though. We got the call about some dolphin a bit further out. Most of the dolphin I have seen this summer have been small pods, not today, the pod was HUGE, over 100 animals, moms with calves and other adults. They were playful, curious, and most of all beautiful! Our passengers were thrilled with the display! There was also a tremendous amount of Common Terns. The photo shows a few taking a rest on a log, getting ready to take flight. We still are going out 7 days a week, come out before school starts!
