We had another great trip on the Atlantic Queen today, with lots of humpbacks around! We saw a few harbor porpoise on the way out, then spent time with two humpbacks, Mantis (born in 1998) and Venom (born in 1996).

VenomWe also saw some sei whales, a fairly rare sighting for the area. This was only the second time we've seen sei whales this year! The two whales were rolling just under the water surface, apparently feeding on something.
We then moved on to 3 more humpbacks, our adopt-a-whale and unofficial mascot, Flask (first seen in 1982) and a 25-year old female named Quote and her calf. We got terrific looks at all the whales, as they spent lots of time at the surface and fluked consistently, so we often got to see their massive tails as they dove down.
