Wow! She's breaching!
Like a forty-ton dancer, light on her belly, spraying joy all around, my camera snapped, Snapped, SNAPPED!
And she flapped, Flapped, FLAPPED.
And the seagull's wings (photo below) showed vividly nature's shapes mimicking one to the other from air to sea.
I love Provincetown, Cape Cod for so many reasons let me count the ways...
My wildlife adventures began with a Whale Watch tour with Dolphin Fleet of Provincetown where whale sightings are guaranteed or you get a free ticket for future trip. But don't worry about that this time of year!
Whale sightings were plentiful, and because Provincetown is on the tip of Cape Cod, a peninsula jutting out on the Atlantic Ocean, it didn't take long to see these gorgeous, sleek black humpback whales.
Yes!
Our group saw twenty-five humpback whales, mostly females, each 40 feet, 40 tons of playful fun.
According to the marine experts on board, the whales are recognizable and have names like Puma and Echo.
This was the smoothest sailing whale watching trip I've ever taken, probably a combination of stellar weather conditions and the fact we didn't need to go far from land in order to experience whales.
Here are folks I met thrilling to the whale experience, too.
I wore "sea-sickness" wrist bands just in case, but like I said, the water was like glass.
Smooth.
I highly recommened the Dophin Fleet of Provincetown Whale Watch tour when you're visiting Cape Cod.
Visit! :-)
By sailing on the Dolphin Fleet, you're supporting non-lethal research to help promote protection and conservation of whales and their marine environment.
