Today’s whale watching trip was so much fun!
Started out from Belmar and headed south. There were reports of whales in the area earlier. Got to Spring Lake and found our whale!
He had a pattern of 3-4 spots followed by a deep dive and showing his tail.
This allowed for so many great pictures.
He also swam so that both sides of the boat got to see him. He seemed to be heading towards a big bait ball and then headed in the opposite direction. A few moments later, a huge lunge feed!
That was awesome. We had been on the whale and saw his tail and flukes many times so we decided to look for dolphins because we had seen them in the distance earlier.
Unfortunately could not find them so we headed back and as we went through Spring Lake, there was the whale again. As we we’re headed back, the whale decided to lunge feed again near one of the small boats that was fishing inside of a bait ball.
A perfect day with calm waters, beautiful sky and lots of very happy people because they saw a beautiful humpback whale!
