Great Day aboard The Atlantic Queen

I had not been out on the boat for a week and I was excited to finally get out again. We are just whale watching weekends on The Atlantic Queen until Columbus Day. There are still plenty of whales around! Today brought us alot of variety. Our first animals of the day were some Harbor Porpoise, about 10 animals not being as shy as they usually are, next an Ocean Sunfish (Mola Mola), Atlantic blue Fin Tuna and then in the distance the distinctive blow of a Northern Right whale, We kept our distance from this critically endangered whale. We could see at least 2 other blows from 2 other Right whales also. We continued on our journey and found 2 Humpback whales. The first animal was quite shy, but we were thrilled to see a Humpback again. As we left we came across another Humpback, this animal fluked for us and gave us some great looks! Don't let the cool weather keep you inside come out and see all of the marine life still abundant on the Ledge. Thank you to ALL our customers today, I enjoyed talking with you and thank you for ALL your support!
