Us and the Whales.
“Be outside the Motel sharp at 9.”, that was the call the night before because we had an early ferry to catch. After grabbing a quick breakfast for takeaway, we went aboard and were greeted by the friendly crew of
What followed was an extraordinary experience. We saw dolphins at the Bay of Cape Cod which is extremely unusual as iterated by the Naturalist Sophie on the Ferry. Such a joy watching those dolphins dancing around the wake.
We also spotted a young Lion’s mane jellyfish, which is frequently nicknamed the “egg-yolk jelly”.
Then we learnt a bit about whales, their kinds, habitat, and lifestyle while moving further away from the coast and deeper into the Atlantic Ocean. These majestic creatures will absolutely leave you breathless when sighted. It was incredible to watch a mama whale teach her calf. They share one of the most remarkable and devoted bonds in the animal kingdom.
I must admit that after a few hours, I started feeling seasick so I went on the top deck to take a seat and enjoy the sights. It turned into a bit of a comedy watching people run from port to starboard and vice versa when whales were spotted and announced.
Overall, it was an experience that I’ll never forget and repeat for sure. Thank you for this.
