July 22nd
Despite some dense fog and rain, passengers on the 8:30am trip on July 22nd were treated to a finback which came right next to the boat! We also spotted harbor and gray seals along with harbor porpoise. Pelagic bird species also included northern gannets and greater shearwaters.
However, on the second trip, due to the fog, we were unable to find whales. Kaitlin Allen was on the boat using her hydrophone listening in for whales nearby. She was able to pick up some humpback calls! The seabirds were numerous offshore which is a good sign, showing us that there is still life around. Wilson storm petrels, greater shearwaters, and a pomarine jager were sighted.
