Today had the whole crew wiping away tears of joy — and the passengers too. Just 6 miles offshore we dropped right into an excellent feeding frenzy.
Scattered long‑beaked common dolphins were feeding across more than a square mile, and they weren’t alone — three humpback whales and two fin whales were right in the mix. Then two of those humpbacks started breaching again and again, and you could feel the suspense building as everyone scanned the water, waiting for the next explosive launch.
For over an hour we watched these whales leap clear of the surface, lunge‑feed, and flash those powerful flukes. Meanwhile, the fin whales kept their sleek, demure reputation intact, sneakin’ around the edges , keeping watch.
And the best part? An all‑women crew today — Captain Vanessa, Naturalist Alison, Deckhand Sara, and Galley Caty. Working alongside such capable women feels pretty incredible.
