Whale Watching

On our last day in Maine, we did a whale watching excursion. Actually it was officially a whale watching and puffin excursion. What is a puffin you may ask? See picture below, but its some sort of sea bird.


Out on the water, it was a balmy 40 degrees. Add the wind from the boat and you can see why we spent a majority of the trip in the enclosed upper deck.


Syd was playing it safe with her life-preserver. In fact she was the only person (other babies included) to wear one, but the relative peace of mind it gave mom was priceless.






Puffin (or some other sea bird) siting! Who actually pays $$$ to go on a boat to see birds?


And yes, we did actually see some whales. When they were not terminal diving, they were still very elusive from the cameras.
