Two new Unidentified whales to NYC off Rockaway Beach

October 03, 2014

Oct 3, 2014 - Went out on the SHIP OF FOOLS and ran into the two new unidentified whales to NYC/Nassau County that were seen the last trip out. The ocean was 4ft-6ft and at times it was a challenge, not for the boat...for me! Spent 6 hours out on the ocean, saw the big whale 1 hour into the watch, it fluked and did a few blows and disappeared into the sun's reflection on the ocean. I knew they were there and it was just a matter of time before we would meet up again and that was 3 hours later. First, I ran into the white tail with Orca teeth marks, he was Bubble Net feeding, or I think he was practicing Bubble Netting? Then off in the distance, big splashes, like scary big splashes- like I'm gonna need a bigger boat splashes!!! It was the bigger whale and it was doing these side-tail slap/jumps, white water everywhere and I got not one shot of that on film! the big one was coming in and the small one was going out and they both met up and moved out to sea. I had to go in, too much sun and waves for me today but it’s always an adventure seeing these gigantic Whales.
