Hello everyone. What a gorgeous day on the water. The water was like glass and there was birds and whales all over the place. Harold decided to go around the St. Mary's Bay side so we had good looks at Greenhead, a 120 ft. high rock formation. As we steamed on you could see the ledges of green island and gull rock where seals like to lay to when it is low tide. Also on the top of gull rock cormorants sit and spread their wings to dry. This is also a nesting spot for them. We sighted some harbor porpoises and low and behold some humpback whales. They were scattered and busy feeding so we decided to move along and go to the rip. We also sighted a bunch of gannets diving after some feed. Sooty and Greater shearwaters were everywhere. A minke whale was also in amongst the birds along with some harbor porpoises. We steamed on and came to more humpbacks some of them we sighted were badge, calanus, bungee, and teather. There was more spout off in the distance.
We even got to see two puffins today and one stayed around long enough for me to take his picture. Here is some pics of the day...
