June 21, 2011

Happy Summer Solstice! It definitely felt like the first day of summer out on the water today! It was a sunny, clear day with calm seas.

It was an eventful day, with the boat seeing two humpback whales! One humpback was a individual named Gemini, a whale first sighted in 1976 and the other was "Viper" first sighted in 1986! They were both hanging out together, spending a lot of time near the boat. Everyone got great looks and it was exciting to see one of Allied Whale's Adopt-a-Whales, Gemini.

Today's whales and weather was certainly a great way to keep off summer! Looking forward to what we may see on our next trip!
