JULY 26~

WHALE WATCH CRUISE IN THE

GULF OF MAINE

PHOTO GALLERY~

The gulf of Maine stretches from Cape Cod to Nova Scotia. We boarded a whale watch boat at Rye Harbor New Hampshire, and headed out to Jeffrey's Ledge in the Atlantic.

It was about an hour out...

Heading out of Rye Harbor.

We saw a Fin Whale at Jeffreys Ledge. They are the second largest animal on earth. The Blue Whale is the largest. The Fin are about 60-80 feet.

Once at Jeffrey's Ledge we had a fantastic afternoon. The weather was just perfect and we saw a lot of whales...

A pair of Humpback whales came close to the boat and stayed to nap in the sun for quite awhile. We got to see them blow out air and water several times, as well as a tail flip as they dove to go deep down.

Humpback whales. They were 35 to 40 feet long.

The fin of a Basking Shark that came close to the surface. We were able to look right down on the top of it. Basking Sharks eat only plankton and are 40 to 50 feet long.

The 2 Humpback whales that stayed at the surface in the sunshine for awhile before deep diving.

It was unbelievably thrilling to see the wonderful sea creatures we encountered.

We saw several Ocean Sunfish up close. They are the largest bony fish in the ocean.

They look like a large fish cut in half!

We also saw a Fin Whale and several Minkes.

wow!

The white you see is the side fin of a Humpback. The fin is 15 feet long.

Many of the whales are frequent visitors to Jeffreys Ledge year after year. Members of the Blue Ocean Society were on the boat to talk to us and said they have names. They pointed out several whales they recognized and told us the names.

We hope you enjoyed sharing our fantastic day with us~

It was dinner time when we arrived back at Rye Harbor and we went to a seafood restaurant on the ocean for lobster to celebrate Mary's birthday.
