Today was our second trip of the 2009 season, and it was a great day on the water! We saw several small pods (groups) of Atlantic White-sided Dolphins, which are toothed whales. We also found about 4 different Humpback whales! We stayed with one whale at the end for a while. That whale gave us great looks by swimming right next to us under the surface of the water. The whale also gave us a look at the underside of its tail or fluke when it went down for a dive. The underside has a black and white pattern that we can use to ID each whale! As soon as I know who the whale is I will be sure to post it on here.

we went on this whale watch and we really enjoyed it... we feel very lucky to have seen those whales... can you please post as soon as possible when you identify the whale we saw? maybe it has not been seen before and you might have to name it! thank you so much for the wonderful experience.
