Whale Watch Part 2!

Angelique’s cruise offshore was really good! There was a beautiful sky, and we had calm seas; couldn’t ask for a better day. We made our trip out to Mt. Desert Rock to look for whales and marine life, as well as seabirds. Mt. Desert Rock is now the marine mammal research station for the College of the Atlantic.

We spotted 4 or 5 well-behaved Finback whales, an awesome sight! We also saw a couple schools of white-sided dolphins, a half-dozen mola-mola’s (ocean sunfish), a few grey seals, and a Minke whale, and to top it off, we saw some shearwaters. For a while, we didn’t know which way to look because there was so much action; what a great day!

We had a fantastic sail back to Bass Harbor from “The Rock”, and lobsters on the beach really rounded out the week. This week we head out to Swans Island for the music festival! The fun never stops on Angelique!
