3 Hour Tour

Went for a 3 hour tour on the Captain John out of Plymouth Harbor today. The weather was perfect, couldn't have asked for better temps and not a cloud in the sky. The whales were apparently enjoying the weather too as the majority of the ones we saw were "logging" (a behavior that is exactly what it sounds like, whales laying at the surface of the water like logs). Not too much tail action, but the benefit of observing the whales logging is we were able to approach really, really close while they were in this inactive/resting state. We saw about 10 whales, mostly humpacks (some juveniles, an adult and a mother/calf duo) and one finke whale, no basking whales and no dolphins, but lots of big striped bass swimming right under the surface. It was Joey's first whale watch. A great day topped off with some great fried clams from Woods.
