June 30th
Thursday afternoon was full of wonderful surprises! On a beautiful clear sunny day we met a shy thresher shark, got a chance to see not one but three different humpback whales! Off of Sea Bright and Monmouth Beach far near cargo ships we spent time watching each showing their own behavior. We got to see a close of up of a lunge feeding and great slapping of the flippers and a wonderful goodbye shot of their tail fluke. The third whale led us to hundreds of Atlantic Bottlenose Dolphins that were incredibly active. There were more than 40 pods surfing along the boat, feeding on fish, jumping and having fun right next to us! We caught a rare sighting of a Sooty Shearwater, saw a Wilson Storm Petrel, and of course, our common friend, the Gulls. You never know what a day can bring, join us next time to find out!
