Well the fog burned off into the harbor and a little bit beyond then as we steamed offshore it socked back in again. In the fog we shut down the boat and listen for the whales spout. When the come up to breath you can hear their blow and find their location by sound. This is what we had to do this morning and we sighted Flame and Half Moon along a ledge area stemming the tide. The afternoon trip we went in an area further down in back of the Island off on the rip. In this area we sighted 3 humpback whales. Couldn't get good looks at the underside of the tails where their pigment patterns lie but i did ID Flame in this area when the other two.
My husband was on the zodiac and went out a little later and sighted 8 humpbacks in a group. He said he could hear them vocalizing! Some of the whales he sighted in this group were Meteor, Flame, Half Moon, Magpie, Luna, which are males. Here is some pics from todays trip...enjoy
