Good evening everyone, Danielle with Quoddy Link Marine here with sightings update from today.  We saw minke whales on both departures today and we got some great views on each trip.

This morning we had 2 very special sightings….

One was the second largest fish in the world, a basking shark.  Note the unique trailing edge of the dorsal fin.  This photo will be sent to the Shark Identification Network on Grand Manan and hopefully we can get a match!
