We headed out of Rye Harbor with our boat filled with passengers hoping to see whales today. As we were going by the Isles of Shoals I was talking to a mom with her young boy telling them what to look for as they scanned the horizon, he quickly said I saw something, a splash, both his mom and I were not sure if he had in fact seen something. To our surprise he had found a large pod of Atlantic White Sided Dolphin! In the pod at least 75-100 animals, they played, breached, showed us there immense speed and how gracefully they maneuver in the water. We also came across a second pod of dolphin, about 25-30 animals, they quickly disappeared as we approached. As we continued to explore in the distance was the distinct blow of a Northern Right whale, I continue to be amazed when ever I am able to spend time with this critically endangered whale! To be in there presence gives me the hope they will continue to thrive.
