Well, this morning was our scheduled North Atlantic right whale trip and the weather forecast has been all over the map for the past few days but we thought we would give it a try....head out towards the Wolves and see what the conditions were like. And.....it was rough....and I want to thank all of our hearty passengers for holding on and being safe out there. The weather was just too rough to go any further....so we would not be able to make it out into right whale area. Our Scout Boat was out as well and we did find 2 humpback whales. Neither was being overly easy to watch...one was doing 15 minute dives and not raising it's tail and the other was doing some long dives and making some big moves but I managed to get a shot of the dorsal fin and the flukes. We do not recognize this whale and I have the images into the Center for Coastal Studies and hopefully they will be able to get back to me with an ID.
I do want to thank everyone who joined us this morning, all of us at Quoddy Link really hope you enjoyed yourself. John decided to adjust the ticket price of the trip and refunded all of the passengers 50% because of the weather and because we were only able to get to the Bank.
Thanks so much for checking in today, I will post any info on this new little humpback when I hear from PCCS.
Cheers,
Danielle
Thanks, Danielle. As two of those hardy passengers, we would like to thank you, Joline, and John, too. We had a great time and felt like we were all part of the same team. Sometimes things don't work out the way you hope, but we (the entire team) had no control over that--and everybody knew it.
ReplyDeleteQuoddy Link's decision to halve the price was generous, unexpected, and more than fair.
Now, if I could just get my half-assed bank to refund to me half of their outrageous charges, THAT would be a miracle. :)
See you next season.
Mike and Karen
Thank YOU so much Mike and Karen for your kind comments :) It was such a pleasure to finally meet you and I'm happy you could come along.
