RIGHT WHALE SHOW A FINE ENDING FOR AUGUST. To the delight of the passengers and crew, the afternoon cruise on Monday August 31st encountered a large group of right whales in the bay off of Long Island. Between 25 and 30 whales were actively pursuing a lone female right whale in their courtship efforts. Some of these whales approached close to the boat, which made for a thoroughly memorable experience for those on board. To see one or two of these endangered whales is a special treat so to be witness to such a number of whales of this species makes one quite impressed. Below are images taken by Penny and Shaelyn Graham during this tour.
