Welcome back CORK to the Bay of Fundy!!

Hello everyone, we had another amazing day on the water with humpbacks offshore....there were so many whales out there today, at least 15 humpbacks on our afternoon trip, and 4 new whales for us today as well.  The most exciting part for me today was seeing Cork, a female born in 2002 to Mica.  Cork is so special to me, we have seen her every season since 2004 and this was the first time this year we have seen her.....yep, I cried.  On a much sadder note we did find an entangled whale this morning (our Scout Boat actually spotted it first and called Campobello Whale Rescue out to help).  When we left the whales after our afternoon departure they had not relocated the whale yet.....fishing gear entanglements is one of the greatest threats to whales....

Here are some pictures from our 9:30am departure
