FINtastic Flood Tide Fin Whales

Good morning everyone.  We had a great on the water yesterday with a morning and an afternoon departure.  It never ceases to amaze me how different each and every day....and trip...is out on the Bay of Fundy.

In the morning we found at least 6 fin whales feeding aggressively off Bliss Island on the flood tide, these whales were no where to be found the day before on the same time of the tide.  There were also a large number (50+) northern gannets feeding in the same area as well.  I seem to have taken a lot more photos of gannets than whales yesterday morning....

The afternoon trip was the ebb tide and it was whole different story out there....but with patience and some extra time spent we managed to get some great looks at 2 minke whales, including Slice and a large fin whale doing some long dives.

Unfortunately we had to cancel out offshore humpback/right whale trip due to a forecast of high winds and low visibility.  I will post if we are able to reschedule.

Thanks so much for checking in,

Cheers,
Danielle
