Out of the Jurisdiction: Whale Watch off Provincetown

 





Visiting friends on Cape Cod, we took a whale watch.  There were numerous
fin whales and humpback whales.  Great fun!


Dolphin X was our boat.  The one on the right.


It was a crystal clear day for a view of Provincetown from the pier.


I am pretty sure this is the Race Point Lighthouse, near the tip of Cape Cod.

  2. What fantastic photos and how fun to go on one of these whale watching cruises. Years ago when I took that cruise from New York to Nova Scotia, I remember standing by the railing of the ship and seeing a whale and a few dolphins who seemed to follow the ship for a while. That is the only time I've ever seen them in the wild. And, I was all by myself. No one else was on deck at the time so I couldn't even point it out to anyone.

  4. How fabulous, Jack! I've never seen them in the wild. I saw dolphins in the Everglades and still get a thrill when I remember the sight of them.

  8. Those first few pix are spectacular. You had good luck. Many years ago my wife and I and the kids took one of these boats from P Town. Nothing but fog and the children got seasick.

  10. Fabulous pictures. It's really difficult to get the whale's tail perfect, but you succeeded.
