Saturday, July 30 on the Atlantic Queen

It was a day of fin whales!  We had blue skies and calm seas, and got to see some of the largest creatures on the planet!

We saw a total of 4-6 different fin whales today. There were also lots of Wilson's storm petrels around. Below are a few images from the day.

Our most frustrating sighting - a garbage bag full of beer cans, carelessly thrown into the water. There are a couple Wilson's storm-petrels hovering over it.
Thanks to all the passengers who joined us for a gorgeous day on the water!
