Another whale of a day

As Kathleen mentions below, we went on another whale watching trip today, this time out of Briar Island west of Digby. What she didn't mention is that we also saw gray seals and a number of birds including puffin, shearwater, guillamont, osprey, gray fumar, cormorants, and gulls of course. There was another passenger on the boat who was an excellent birder, and pointed out all the birds for us. We saw a bird and seal fighting over a fish - it was too far away to see what kind of bird or who won. We also saw a fish farm where they were raising salmon. My favorite days by far are the ones we spend on the water. In addition to the fact I love being on the water, there are no black flies. I am apparently quite a tasty morsel for those little buggers, and I react to the bites; it's not been fun.
