Humpback Whales

that is just beyond words. I have got to go see these creatures. how many did you see? humpbacks are just outrageously extraordinary!

Those are gorgeous! My whale pictures always show the ripples in the water where the whale used to be. :roll:

I already swooned over on fb, but I just love this!! :clap:

P-Town? Where's its rainbow flag!? LOL!

This year, I couldn't even count how many humpbacks there were. There was one pod of 6 alone. I have never seen that many together, usually just a Mother and calf. The picture of fins flopping around was a calf playing. They are very curious and will come up close to boats to check people out. The calf also breached practically on the boat. I have part of that on video, it was unexpected. It's truly an unforgettable experience and I never get bored with it. The Stellwagon Bank is nutrient rich and besides humpback whales, finbacks, Right whales and the smaller minke whales feed there as well. Everyone should go, even just once. I've heard there have been more and more whales than ever, so now is a good time to go. Plan for next year. Glad they haven't been affected by the economy. :lol:

If I can get the video pieced together, I will post it.

These are awesome!! When did you go? I wanted to do a whale watch this summer but didn't get to it.

They have a ferry now from Boston to P-Town. It's an hour and a half.

The one time I went, I will never forget. It was one of the coolest things ever!! I remember lying on the deck of the boat to get better pics and my friends thought I'd fall in. I wouldn't have cared. Did you know they're identified by the markings on their flukes? I adopted a whale one time for several years. Sent $$ for him every year, but alas, he passed away. Never adopted another one. Dammit..I don't know why.
