| Trio of Sei Whales! |
Lots of sei whales again today! We saw 8 sei whales, although there were many more blows on the horizon, and also got great looks at 2 different fin whales.
Our first look was at a fin whale, a whale known in our catalog as #9721 - and a whale we first saw in 1997! This whale was also seen in 2006 and 2010.

Then we moved on to some sei whales, and were surrounded! We spent most of our time with a trio that stayed together, although there were several other whales in the area. The sei whales were zig-zagging all around, and often came up quickly to the surface, affording us great looks at their head and jawline.
