Strange to be seeing them in the Atlantic Ocean. Also saw many shearwaters and gannets. They had a whale researcher on board so we found out the names of each whale, as long as its tale was identified.

Beautiful views, nice clam shell beach, out of the wind, and lots of playtime for the kids. I wandered around the island for a while, enjoying the plants and the views.
