Whale Watching in Cape Cod

Posted on July 9, 2023 by Charles Yallowitz

I know I should be promoting Do I Need to Use a Dragon? since it’s not even a week old.  It’s still for sale as a 99 cent eBook though.  It should be a $20 paperback as well.  Still, I tend to do random stuff on Sundays because I need a day where I can follow whatever I think of.  Today . . . Whale Watching.

I mentioned about a week ago that my family and I went to Cape Cod for a few days.  It was a great trip with the highlight being going out for an afternoon to a marine preserve to see whales.  We saw three species, but the minke and finbacks didn’t give me many chances for pictures.  Everything you see here are the humpbacks, which came very close to the boat at times.  Enjoy.

    The boat owner should have put in an underwater microphone so you could hear the humpbacks sing! the sound of them blowing water was wonderful. I think they identify certain of them by their flukes.

      I think they would need a license for that. The area they go into is a marine sanctuary, so there are a lot of rules and regulations that they have to abide by. We did see a smaller, science vessel that might be allowed to do things like microphones. They were busy trying to get to a calf that had fishing line wrapped around a fin.
