August 14- Prince of Whales

Fin whales were the name of the game today! Although we did spend a little time with a minke whale and blue shark, the fin whales were absolutely amazing!

A passenger informed us of "a few blows over there". Sure enough, several blows/whales were close by! 3 fin whales feeding together!

The 3 fin whales included Ladder, a new one this year that we are referring to as "New Squiggle" until it gets assigned an ID number, and another new whale!
Two fin whales- both new to the area this summer


Check out this beautiful chevron/blaze marking!

We left the trio, passing by a pair, to see another pair/trio in the area! Certainly lots of fin whales all scattered about today!

In spite of the sprinkles, we had a fun day on the water with the second largest animal on Earth! Thanks to everyone for joining and supporting us today!
