Back out to Cork

Hello, it's Danielle again with Quoddy Link Marine. We had a great day. They were calling for a lot of wind today but it was off the land and the conditions for whale watching were very good. We spent about 45 minutes with a minke whale in Head Harbour Passage and then our captain/owner John decided to check out the conditions off shore. With less wind than expected we continued out into the Grand Manan Channel were we found Cork, a familiar 4-year old female humpback whale. Above (left) you can see her diving close to the boat. Below you can see a photograph I took today of her tail. Note the black cork-shaped mark on the right hand side of her fluke which is how she got her name. Thanks for checking in!!
