As for the baleen whales we ended up seeing 3 different Fin whales during our trip. The first whale was spending the majority if it's time underneath the water making whale watching not the easiest of tasks. Then again the whales do what they want to do whenever they want to do it so we are the ones that are at the mercy of whales, not the other way around. As we were waiting for the animal to resurface we kept seeing another exhalation from a different whale a few miles away. We decided to maneuver towards that direction and see if perhaps this other whale was being more "cooperative" for all of us aboard the boat.
As we zoned in on the area where this other whale was, it turned out we actually had two different Fin whales in this vicinity. We spent our time with one of the whales that was surfacing a bit more often and got some incredible looks at the 2nd largest animal in the world! During one surfacing the whale remained right alongside the boat giving everyone the chance to see the entire length of this animal and the brilliance of it's white lower jaw and chevron pattern right next to us. 
Definitely about as amazing of a look you can ever get from these massive creatures.

Just a few days left of our 2009 season, can't believe just how quickly time goes by sometimes. Hope to see you out this weekend!
