Happy Labor Day!
A beautiful day on the water after the remnants of Hurricane Earl passed by this weekend. The wind certainly stirred things up a bit but we were luck to find a few right whales on Jeffreys Ledge today. As we approached the ledge, a single right whale appeared. I am still excited to see these whales in the area even though we can't get close to them. Our second sighting was a pair of right whales- a mother and calf pair!! Only 19 calves were born last winter so this was truly a rare sighting! From the distant looks we did get, I (shockingly) was able to ID this whale as Bugs, a 28-year old mother I had seen off of South Carolina this past winter! YAY! So happy to know that Bugs and her calf are doing well in spite of all the challenges they face in our modern world. Thanks to all of you on board for your interest and compassion for these rare sightings!
