A close encounter with Cork!

Hello, it's Danielle, senior naturalist and photographer with Quoddy Link Marine. Well, today was wet and very, very windy so both our boats stayed in the harbour and we got a day off from the water but yesterday was amazing. On both our morning and afternoon trips we headed off to the Wolves Banks and found Parachute and Cork, 2 humpback whales. Our afternoon trip was extra special with a lob tail and loud trumpet from Parachute and a VERY close encounter with Cork (photos below). This is the first time we have seen this behaviour from Cork, a 4-year-old female. She approached the boat very close and surfaced on both sides, turning and surfacing very close to the boat again. To have the curiosity returned is so amazing, it puts me at a loss for words. Thanks for checking in and stay tuned for more updates!!
