We were back on the water this weekend. Alas, Saturday wasn't the best... Fog and no whales. We've had plenty of great trips in the fog, but the weather and the whales were just not on our side. Sunday was different in both the weather and the whales. Today we checked out four humpback whales. Blue Ocean Society for Marine Conservation adoptable whales Owl and Pinball were seen, along with Yurt and Grand Manan! The distant fin whale was a bit elusive, but we did get a quick look at a basking shark and minke whale. Happy World Oceans Day!

The weather won out this weekend with rain and wind. We’ll be keeping our fingers crossed for better weather next weekend!

Happy opening weekend! Wow. It was quite the start to the 2025 season. The ocean was alive with activity. On Saturday, the birds were out of control. There were thousands of phalaropes, a sprinkling of Wilson's storm petrels, a couple of sooty shearwaters, dark and light morph fulmars, gulls, terns, and even a gannet!
The whales were equally as enjoyable, all weekend long! On Saturday and Sunday, we saw minke whales, fin whales, and humpback whales. The humpback whales were in a feeding frenzy witnessing bubble nets, kick-feeding, and filtering. Thanks for a great start to another year exploring the Gulf of Maine!
