We finished off our time in Massachusetts with a trip to Cape Cod. Our highlight was taking a boat out of Provincetown to go whale watching. We were not disappointed! We saw many whales, sometimes 3 or 4 together. One whale was on his back just flapping his flipper back and forth, as if he was performing for us by "waving" to us. The marine biologist on board said he had not seen that behavior before.
They study the whales and have named them (they can identify them by their tails). These whales go to the Caribbean for the winter and come back each summer. One whale, Salt, has fourteen children and is even a great grandma! It was thrilling to watch them and have them close to our boat.
We have video, which we will post as soon as we cut it down to a "watchable" time length.
