July 1, 2009 Afternoon Trip

Unfortunately, mother nature prevented us from going out on an AM trip. By the afternoon, however, we had reports of an area on the Bank where the fog had cleared. We headed that way for our PM trip and were lucky enough to find THREE different species of whales! First, we found a fin whale pair that may have been the same we had seen yesterday. We were able to get great looks at these individuals and even saw a lunge from one of them (the same unique behavior we saw yesterday as well!). While we were watching the fins, a little minke whale popped up, giving us a few quick looks at it. Our last species of the day was a humpback by the name of Pinpoint! Pinpoint was going on some deeper dives, so we were able to get great looks at it's fluke. Seeing all three species certainly made this a very special day!
