Another fantastic adventure. Met a couple who are originally from Chile and live in Georgia. Had a lot in common and they became part of our whale watching group! We headed north because there was a report of 2 whales. But prior to that saw a few dolphins and then off we went to find a whale or two! As we were heading towards a boat who was watching a whale, we saw a spout to the East and tried to find him. Saw him a couple of times but he did not seem interested in us. Turned towards the original whale and saw it very near the other boat. He was taking it easy today, not sleeping but not very active. Never got to see his tail but Danielle, the naturalist, recognized the dorsal fin as whale # 250. We have seen him several times since May and sometimes he is very active and sometimes likes to relax like all of us. After awhile, we went east again and a spout was seen but couldn’t find the whale after that. On the way home, saw so many dolphins all around the boat. They are so much fun the watch! At one point the dolphins were throwing fish up in the air! Saw an Osprey with dinner fly by going towards land. In the inlet, the Osprey nest had 2 ospreys present whereas earlier there was only one. It was a beautiful day on the ocean. Water temp was 69 degrees. As our new friends said “ I can’t stop smiling”! That says it all.
