Tuesday August 25th on the Atlantic Queen

Atlantic white-sided dolphins!


A bit of feeding out there today!


What a beautiful day on the water today, with nice and really big fin whales traveling and doing some lunge feeding in the distance. These whales are so enormous the white water from feeding can be seen from afar. Their size always seems to amaze!

Several humpbacks joined the fun, doing some tail breaching and a bit of feeding!
And finally some playful pod of Atlantic White sided dolphin. As I expressed to our passengers they are difficult to photograph, but to my surprise I did get the one photo shown above. Our passengers got some great looks at many moms and their calves. This was only my second dolphin sighting this summer, I was very happy to see them all today.

Terrific passengers today from Canada, Australia and some folks from New Orleans too! Many local folks as well, and many thanks to those who supported us today and to our repeat passengers, we couldn't do our work without you!

Keep in touch!
