It was an exciting day out on the bank today! I saw my all-time favorite whale (Pitcher) who started breaching and flipper slapping during our trip, and found a pod of Atlantic white-sided dolphins on the way back home 🐬

Got some great looks yesterday at a few fin whales, lots of feeding humpbacks, and this big old Mola hanging out at the surface in #StellwagenBank #whales 🦑
