Finishing Strong!

Even though this upcoming weekend is our last one of the 2008 season, the whales don't want to say good-bye. Aboard the Granite State, we were treated to lots of "whale friends" new and old, over the last couple of days. On Wednesday, we had 5 different whale species, along with a harbor seal and ocean sunfish. One of many highlights that day, was a sighting of a Northern Right whale...with less than 400 in the world, that alone made our day. We were also treated to a pair of familiar faces...two female Humpbacks, Valley and Fan. These two were feeding the whole time and Fan even rolled over at one point.

Today proved to be just as plentiful. More Humpbacks, Fin whales, Minkes, and Right whales once again! We spent the majority of our time with a mother and calf Humpback pair...Partition and calf. Both mom and calf rolled over at one point, showing thier long flippers above the surface. We finished our trip with a sighting of a nice Fin whale and another Humpback pair...Quote and calf. It's shaping up to be a nice weekend on Jeffrey's Ledge. This is our last weekend to spend quality time with the whales. I know I am already looking forward to May 2009! Please join us.
