Howdy whalewatchers: It all started with a fantastic sunrise and calm seas. Shortly after we found our first blue whale, and shortly after that, we found the blue whale we were looking for–a large animal and it fluked every dive. We couldn’t ask for better conditions. The sunlight was perfect and the water was clear enough to see the whole animal under water. This animal literally fluked 35 feet off the bow of the Searcher. It didn’t get any better and it was just hard to explain with words what everyone saw. Unfortunately we had to leave the whale to head south. We found a group of pilot whales and got to observe them for a bit. As we continued south we had a sun setting with another group of about 100 pilot whales. It was a great way to end the day.
Good whalewatching and observing nature as it comes to you,
Capt Aaron and the Searcher crew
