A Whale of a Time

We did have a whale of a time today. Kathleen decided to do a morning whale watch, and I went along for the ride. I thought I'd like an afternoon trip, and she came along with me. Her trip was out of Cheticamp; mine out of Pleasant Bay. Both trips were on Zodiacs - a large rubber raft. Whales are not disturbed by the rafts and we were able to get as close to them as 5 feet. We could lean over the side of the boat and watch dolphins and whales swimming alongside the boat underwater. We saw Minke whales on the morning trip, and Pilot whales, white-faced dolphins, a seal and jellyfish on the afternoon trip. It will be hard to top this day!
