Welcome back "the Unknown"

Hello, it's Danielle with Quoddy Link Marine. What a nice fall day. Our morning trip was a chartered cruise with both of our boats and we had 3 minke whales in amongst the islands. Our afternoon trip came with decrease in winds and took us offshore in search of humpback whales. We were about 2 miles from Southern Wolf when we found Cork, Parachute and our "Unknown". The "Unknown" (top right) is a humpback whale that can not be matched to catalogued whale and which we haven't seen since September 22nd. This whale will most likely be named in April and the Gulf of Maine Humpback Whale Naming Conference. Below is a photograph of Parachute and Cork traveling very close to the Island Link, our power cruiser out on a charter. Thanks for checking in!
