The shortest distance from shore ever this season for some of the best whale watching. Cosmos and Doric spent a long time kick feeding and bubble feeding; more activity than we’ve seen in a long time. Our travels also brought us super close to Thacher’s Island for a unique view of Thacher Lights

Great whale watch Thursday. We had a choice of viewing 7 different Humpback whales. We got a great look at all of them . The whales have moved closer in the last couple weeks . That gives us more time to view them. We also have had some fantastic Bluefin tuna watching while out there. A few dolphins have been in that mix as well.
Looking like a great weekend for Whale watching

Featuring many of the last remaining great old vessels, now alongside their replicas. For two days Gloucester’s harbor, the oldest fishing port on the Atlantic Coast, is the backdrop for a unique mix of old and new as modern-day trawlers share their home port with traditional vessels from the age of sail.
