On our PM trip today, the whales were relaxing after their breakfast. We first spotted a humpback mother, calf, and escort doing some flipper slapping! After a little while they calmed down, and we were able to get very close. We got some nice looks at these whales, and a very quick look at a fin whale that passed by. Leaving these whales to check out the Bank a bit more, we came upon another humpback mother and calf with an escort! These three were having a lazy afternoon as well, which allowed us to get nice and close. I didn't get a good look at the flukes of these mothers to ID them, but we sure got great looks otherwise!
