Totally unexpected and as such even more exciting and special.
Never even occurred to me that you would be able to see whales FROM ASHORE at this time of year — on the Cape. I like Chatham Beach and just stopped to enjoy the scenery.
Then, a very kind gent (in the construction industry), having his lunch in his truck, drew my attention to the BLOW. I guess I would have eventually spotted them myself. But, I am immensely grateful to him.
There were between 4 to 8, if not more. Soon there was quite a few people at the lookout I was at — & three boats by the whales.
Nobody was 100% sure but the belief was that they were BLUEFIN WHALES.
I watched with my binoculars for a long time before I was ready to take pictures with my camera.
Yes, over the years I have seen quite a few whales, some very close at hand (like touching distance)! But, it never gets old. Always special.
