Curious mink whale

Hello everyone, we were confined to the protection of the Islands for most of the day yesterday thanks to a strong SW wind (we did sneak off a little in the morning and get some looks at a finback but the wind quickly breezed up).  We did spent time on both trips with Slice, a minke whale as well as 2 other minke whales in the afternoon.  And on our 2pm trip we did have that curiosity returned from a minke whale and Nick managed to get some more underwater video.....check it out



It is not common to have a minke whale be this curious in a boat, he was also incredible curious with the schooner out of Eastport Maine.  It's so incredible when this happens and everyone on board was as fascinated as we were.

Cheers,
Danielle

  1. Was this footage from the day you took out the people from Petawawa? If so, it's from the 27th!

    We had an awesome time and loved our experience. Thanks for a great end to our East Coast trip!

  2. Hey Jathina, it is from the 27th, I didn't do the post until the 28th but I did write that is was from "yesterday" in the text. So happy to hear that you had a great time and thanks for bidding on the tickets at Relay for Life in Petawawa :D
    Cheers,
