Where do I even begin. This was one of those experiences of a lifetime. Like getting seats to see your favorite artist first row at a concert.
THE WHALES PERFORMED
While on the cape, I knew we needed to see whales. We came at the right time of the year and with Captain John Boats offering that 99% success rate for seeing whales on all their trips, I knew we would have to at least see one. AND WE DID.
We boarded from the Provincetown dock and as soon as we were leaving on our way out I'd say not even 5 minutes in, we spot the first little guy: a mola mola (I believe that was the name!).
That was super cool but moments after, we get to encounter, LIVE, first row to the 2nd largest animal in the WORLD: the fin whale
Let that sink in: the second largest animal in the world. The largest being the blue whale. Like WHAT???????????
I got to witness this gorgeous masterpiece of creation feeding and living its best life FIRST row.
Despite it staring to rain, wind picking up, temperatures dropping, we kept it together and stayed at the top floor of the boat where we kept getting soaked.
Was it worth it? Was IT-WORTH-it? The moment will always and forever repeat in my mind when that fin whale made its appearance and all I could do was scream in excitement and look in AWE. It as for sure a tear jerking moment and something I will always remember.
What a highlight.
We also saw porpoises just casually hanging out and being SO cute we thought they were dolphins AND got to see a humpback whale.
I mean, it was a SHOW. Theatre of the ocean worth way more than what we paid for.
Thank you to Captain Josh and the crew for being so amazing and incredible. You all made our experience so wonderful and something I'll never forget.
