Whale Watch

In July we went on a whale watch out of Bar Harbor. The usual cost is over $50 per person but they have a deal for people who work on MDI. If there are any seats left you get to go for free. Free is good! The Bar Harbor Whale Watch Co. is a customer of West Marine so I asked one the the guys which is their slowest day. He surprised me by saying it was Saturday. Turns out that Saturday is a transition day when the current week's tourists are leaving and next week's tourists are just arriving. So we took the free bus to Bar Harbor and got on a free whale watch.

We saw 3 humpback whales and Ross got some pretty good pictures (see below). It's COLD out there and the day was pretty hazy but we got good views of the whales. It was fun! And did we mention that it was free?
