Belmar whale watching tour review July 12 2020

Commonly referred to as “pec slapping,” this is when a whale lying on it's side repeatedly raises a long pectoral fin into the air and slams it back to the surface with a loud splash. It's another way the whales communicate with each other. ... They may also lie on their back and slap both fins, alternately.

The normality you feel while being outdoor on a warm summer day with the ocean breeze in your face helps you forget about the Covid 19 at least for a few hours, said one passenger yesterday aboard our whale watching trip   Humpback and Dolphin Love 🐋🐬❤️ Tail flukes, pectoral fin slaps, looks like he’s […]
