It is the best conditions of the week and gorgeous out there!
Plus the oceans are filled with life today.
Starting the trip early with a very boat-friendly pod of ~80 long-beaked common dolphins coming to check us out.
Continuing northwest, we sighted a bunch of splashes from another pod of ~200 long-beaked common dolphins followed by not one, but two minke whales! They were hanging out side by side and syncing up their dive cycles. They got pretty curious of us and swam directly under our boat with their bright white minke “mittens” glowing blue as they passed.
We also saw a huge spout from a humpback whale and went to go say hello, getting some good looks and seeing big flukes on every single dive.
We still have 2 more trips available today with great conditions and great wildlife. Today is a good day to join us!
