HUMPBACKS EVERYWHERE! It has been a great couple of weeks for whale watching as many humpbacks are feeding and frolicking off of Brier Island. The sightings include mother and calf pairs and other species seen have been minke and fin whales, dolphins and even a school of tuna. The birds have been actively feeding as well and some days the water has been dancing with feed. Hurricane Bill fortunately did not impact the islands with damaging winds, although coupled with a surge and high tides, the seas were rough. The ocean rolled and crashed onto the shores and waves drew onlookers and made for awesome photographs and salty faces. Whale watching was of course cancelled for a couple of days. The weather now feels rather fall like but the whales don't mind, as evidenced by their continuing activity in the bay.
