NYC0004 Fluke shots off Rockaway on the American Princess with Gotham Whale
We met up with a Humpback Whale Gotham Whale has cataloged as NYC0004 both Wednesday (8-20) and Thursday (8-21) this week on the American Princess. Today 8-21-14 we saw whale #04 early like 20 minutes into the Whale Watch and had a full 2 1/2 hours with him NYC0004! He was surface feeding sending many schools of Bunker into freak-out mode which is an amazing sight! No lunge feeding or breaches but NYC0004 was all about showing its Fluke and did a few pectoral waves. The big event was NYC0004 did awesome surface Barrel roll 20 feet in front of the boat, which was caught by CBS Nightly news (who was on the boat) and will air Saturday 8-23-14 at 6pm-ish.
