Whales off St. Andrew, Canada


I have often wondered why it is called whale watching, whale hunting fits better. Lily and I awoke early to catch the boat and head out on the Bay of Fundy. Billons of gallons of sea water flows in and out of the bay twice daily and it has one of the world’s biggest tidal changes. In the summer it also is temp home to whales seeking food and plankton. The charming town of St. Andrew, Canada was still and quiet and lucky for us only nine passengers boarded for the hunt. With a success rate of 95% we knew we would see something and we did. Minke Whales danced around our boat snorting as they rose from the depths. A thrill to behold!
