Hello everyone and HOLY FUNDY FOG!  We have been dealing with this fog for over a week and it’s not just us but a large portion of the Maritimes has been swallowed up by the fog monster!  But on August 24th and 25th we managed to find finback whales on all three departures on both days!  We have even seen some very impressive lunge feeding on herring from these whales.

Here are some photos from the past 2 days, I hope you enjoy.

While we were stopped watching seals yesterday evening we saw an adult bald eagle take a young gull…nature is amazing and brutal.

We have also had a few very brief basking shark sightings over the past 2 days, sorry, no photos…the shark went under too quick.

Thanks so much for checking in!

Cheers,
