July 4-5, 2022
The fourth of July included sunny skies, calm winds, and stunning seas, a perfect combination to celebrate our independence day. Each trip provided its own unique sightings the 5th of July was choppy seas
We headed on our journey north towards a fresh whale sighting report by another boat of a whale off the red church in West Ned New Jersey , that was our landmark.The nice size crowd about 60 people were thrilled to be out on the ocean with the cooling ocean breeze.
I remembered meeting a 94 year old woman boarding the boat with her extended family, i made sure to give here a whale watching tshirt as a gift maybe i should do that for any passenger 90 years of age, its great to see them still so active.
On Tuesday, we were able to get a trip in before the forecasted weather was scheduled to flip upside down. We ventured to where we had luck with whales on Monday, Danielle saw a whale spout three times in the distance so we headed that only only to hear the crowd on the 2nd level boat roaring they were watching a different whale lunge feeding so we turned in choppy seas towards the closer whale and enjoyed a good show breach and lunge feeding off Long Branch Deal beach area.
I was just reminded we also saw two bottlenose dolphins swimming with the whale
