Sept 8, 2015 - short GoPro video of an ocean sunfish (Mola mola).
Sept. 1, 2015 - Finback whales and a show-off humpback whale today. I was in the galley when the humpback was showing off so only finback whales on today's video.
Another "Fintastic Day" today with a group of finback whales. Again today we were one of "their group" as they surfaced just a few feet from the boat and swam gently along with us for 2 or 3 minutes as we sailed along slowly.....Great day!

Aug. 29/15 - Finback whales!!! Great day with a group of 5, and sometimes 7 finback whales. This is a video of 5 finback whales that swam along with us for over 2 minutes before swimming off to continue feeding. This group of whales definitely accepted us as part of their group and swam along with us several times during our time with them..... Enjoy!

Finback whales Aug 17/15
August 17/15 - 11:30am trip - Today we had a group of finback whales that were just all too willing to spend some quality time with us just about every time they surfaced. This short video is just under 2 minutes long and shows just how accepting these whales are of our slow moving sailing yacht....Truly the best way to watch whales.

3 Humpback Whales
August 16, 2015 - Beautiful day on the Bay of Fundy today!! 8 or 9 finback whales and 3 humpback whales. Short video of the humpback whales.
Aug 7/15.....Had a few finback whales and minke whales today. Lots of porpoises and lots of seabirds, but the special treat of the day was when a minke whale came to check us out. I only caught the last of it as it went under the boat and came up on the other side......and then swam upside down (white belly up) taking a really good look at us! Truly an amazing thing to see. Make sure you watch through to the end.

Aug. 8/15 - A group of finback whales arrived today. Been a few of everything (finback, humpback, minke and right whales) in the Bay this summer, but is small numbers. Great to see a few finbacks feeding in a group.
Short video of one of the times they went by the boat.
July 25, 2015....Great day today! Brisk wind for sailing, humpback whales and nice people!!
Short video of two humpback whale moms and their babies. Moms are "Foggy" and "Bungee"......Tails, breaching, tail lobbing and just good fun. Enjoy! www.whales.ca
Humpback whales are here!.... What a great surprise we had Thursday evening....after 4 days of thick fog we finally got back out on the By of Fundy for a tour and there are humpback whales.....lots of them! These are the first humpbacks we have seen this season (yes they are late arriving), so to see 10 or 12 on our first sighting was exciting and a surprise. This short video shows 4 of them swimming along beside us.
This is different....last week the harbor was full of jellyfish....1000's of them. Looked them up and found that they are white-cross jellyfish, a species more common in cold arctic waters than here in the Bay of Fundy, but they have been seen as far south as Cape Cod.
First part of the video is looking into the water from above and then the camera goes underwater....kind of cool...very peaceful...
"The Minke Whale Movie"........great fun with this whale and it seems it was having fun with us too!!
We're back and in the final stages of getting ready for the 2015 season...first trip will be June 27/15.
After a long, long, long winter in the boat yard (great place to be for the winter if you are a boat) our boat is back in the water again.
Yesterday was launch day. Take a look at the video of the whole process...let's say it's "everything you wanted to know about moving a 95000 pound boat and lowering it gently into the water without messing up"! About 4 minutes.

Humpback whales.... Well, we went for a sail today with a few folks. What a great, late September day it was......and humpback whales. We have not been out for over a week, but lots of whales around. We stopped to look at 2 in one place and they went on to spend some time with 4 more, including a mom and her baby. Enjoy!
Finally got back out on the water after a few days on shore.....Humpback whales today...everywhere we looked there were humpback whales. At least 10 or so. Video is of 4 whales as the flipped up their tails and slipped into the deep.
Yellow rain coats on a sunny day? It was a little splashy!
Well, the whales were lazy today! Good viewing with lots of them around the boat, just hanging out. Got a short video of humpback tails.
August 26/14 - video 3 of 3 - A dozen or more finback whales came up in front of us. We turn parallel with them so we do not cut them off and they swim right along with us and then pass us. You can see the whales underwater. Part way thru I took my polarized sunglasses and shot the video thru them....you can really see into the water and see the whales bodies.
