Calm seas, no fog and great wildlife!


Greetings from St. Andrews, NB! The weather has been great for the past few days and we have been taking full advantage of i! The Island Quest has had some AWESOME sightings, friendly Minkes have been the highlight for our guests the past few days. Here are some photos I took while out on
the Island Quest.

The two photos are of the same Minke, notice the hooked dorsal fin on it's back. Minkes are on average between 20 and 30 feet in length.

This particular Minke has been sighted a few times on our departures in and around Campbobello Isl. and Whitehorse Isl.

The islands and beautiful scenery make for a wonderful backdrop when photographing the marine wildlife that we are so lucky to have in this area.











Always a pleasure to watch, the local Harbour Seals and Gray Seals haul out and sun themselves as the tide goes down over the rocks.
