Yesterday we stumbled upon Juliet, a female fin whale on southern Jeffreys Ledge. Juliet is a regular visitor to the Ledge and was first seen in 1987. Sadly, this year she looks extremely thin with her vertebrae showing along the entire length of her back. Fortunately, she was in a good area with lots of bait fish showing up on our sounder. We hope she finds some good food and gains weight quickly.
Today was a little happier with several humpbacks (including our buddy, Flask) and a trio of fin whales in the area. We found humpback whale, Bungee, with her new calf. There location was a dead giveaway as the calf breached a few miles off our our bow. Bungee was first see in 1992 and this is her 4th documented calf.
