Hello everyone!
The sightings continue to be great out of St. Andrews with minke whales being seen on every departure. We have had a few trips where the weather has been in our favour and we have had the chance to head offshore and search where we found a large finback whale! While offshore we have also seen both sooty and great shearwaters, northern gannets and a few puffins.
Here are some pics from the past week

We had one encounter with a curious minke who had interesting scarring on its side, quite possibly from an interaction with an orca during its younger years.
