Hi Joey,
Having been on Cape Ann Whale Watches as a resident in the area, it was fun to hear you discuss the whale watch you went on last weekend. It is always an amazing experience! Every time is different, but always worthwhile. And you are correct – it is not just for tourists.
We had a particularly moving experience on one trip that was quite unique. It was several years after my Dad had passed away, & our kids had adopted a particular whale in his memory. My daughter & I were at the rail & a humpback came up right by that side of the boat. The naturalist onboard identified the whale as Littlespot – the whale the kids had chosen!
But the more surprising part was when the naturalist said that they had not seen this whale in quite a few years! Needless to say, we were blown away & felt that it was my Dad/their Papa saying hello. That’s because of all the places in the vast ocean on thatday, & where we were on that day, that this particular whale was at the same exact spotwhere we were & came up on the exact side of the boat literally right by us. We called my husband & son over, so they could see Littlespot, too. It was wonderful. And the kids were thrilled. How lucky were we?!
Every whale watch is an experience not to be missed.
