Gorgeous day

It was another gorgeous day on Jeffreys Ledge, with clear blue skies, relatively calm seas and humpbacks and minkes all around!

There were many humpbacks in the area. On the Atlantic Queen, we got good looks at Gavel, Upsilon, "#0806" and another whale who teased us by not fluking as we watched it for several minutes!

There were also several minkes charging around feeding. At one point, one of the humpbacks came up with a minke cruising next to it in the opposite direction!



On the way in, we could see a schooner sailing into Portsmouth Harbor - a nice way to round out a great day on the water!
