Today was easily the best day of whale watching for me on the Atlantic Queen. A fantastic day weather wise, and a great variety of life out there. We started the day with a Minke whale who gave us some nice close looks. Further out a nice juvenile harbor seal spent some time with us. Then it was fin whale city! There were blows from these animals all around us! One of our Fin Whales came up and gave us a close approach, always amazing to be that close to the 2ND largest whale in the world. But the day continued to get even better. The pictures tell the story of a very active Humpback whale, this animal breached 19 TIMES! This behavior does not happen often so our passengers were left with an experience I hope they will never forget,I know I won't! With help from our Research Coordinator Dianna Schulte this whale is the calf of "Anvil" who was born in 2009! so roughly 16 monthes old!!Keep in touch!Become a Fan on Facebook Follow Us On Twitter
