Quality time with minke whales!

Hello there, it's Danielle with Quoddy Link Marine. I just wanted to update you on our past few days. We have had quite a bit of wind and fog and have been confined to the inner islands. Even with the foul weather we have been having fantastic sightings of minke whales. Here you can see a photograph of Breadknife, a very familiar whale with local whale watchers. Below you can see 2 pictures from our 10:00 am trip on September 19th. We had an amazing sighting of a breaching minke whale off Head Harbour Light, at the northern tip of Campobello Island. It is very special to see a whale breach, but a minke whale breaching is incredibly rare. "He" breached about 10 times to the delight of our passengers. Thanks for checking in and I'll keep you posted on our sightings over the next few days!
