August 2- Prince of Whales- Newburyport

Fin whales everywhere!!! What an amazing day! Yes, the whales were far from home so the trip out seemed long, but when we arrived, we could see blows in every direction! Singles, pairs, trios, and even a group of five fin whales all together surrounded us!! At least 14 were in the general area, along with a minke whale and a very uncooperative humpback whale.

Three whales together- looks like a picket fence when they all spout at the same time!

I haven't even tried to identify all these whales yet so stay tuned!
