Finbacks and some HOT weather

Hello everyone, it's Danielle with Quoddy Link Marine back from a nice cool day on the Bay. The weather here in St. Andrews has been unusually hot but it remains cool on the water (so don't forget your layers!).

The past 2 days have been great with finback and minke whale sightings. We still have 4-5 finback whales hanging off the entrance to Head Harbour Passage. The move a little to the East sometimes but overall have been very co-operative. Below is a terminal dive of a finback, note the tall, columnar blow and high arch of the back, both characteristic of fin whales.


Not sure about the weather tomorrow, maybe some rain but that doesn't stop us. I will keep you posted on all of our sightings.
