Hello whalewatchers: We have great weather today with very light winds and calm seas. We have been busy watching humpback whales, bottlenose dolphins and loads of sea turtles. We are sure we are seeing green and loggerhead turtles, and while we were drifting we noticed all the salps in the water which are food for the turtles. We came across a lot of birds on the water and when we got close, we realized they were all northern fulmars with all three phases present: dark, intermediate and light. This is something we don’t see very often….always something new to experience on these trips!
Today’s picture is of a pair of humpbacks and a bottlenose dolphin in the same frame.

Evening addition: What a day we have had–plenty of wildlife to look at today! Humpbacks, blues, and fin whales along with bottlenose dolphin, lots of turtles, a few sunfish, northern fulmars, frigate birds, tropic birds, shearwaters…all in one day. The blue and fin whales were feeding on the surface and a wonderful sunset to finish the day. Oh, and the weather was awesome. Looking forward to tomorrow.
