A PERFECT SUNSET CRUISE!

I went out on Thursday night for the second in a series of the American Princess Cruises “Sunset Whale and Dolphin” (W&D) watching cruises.

The AP pushed off at 5pm and encountered two incredibly active Humpbacks and it was spectacular. Breaching, tail throws, chin slaps and the list goes on. One whale was having fun with its food. The Humpback would come up on small, tightly packed Bunker (Menhaden) bait balls and not eat! The Humpback would dive down by the bait ball and then charge up and out, breaching and landing on the bait ball. Interesting behavior but it was a show! All this, a beautiful sunset and it ends with the gorgeous city lights of Coney Island and the Manhattan skyline. A perfect sunset cruise it was, returning to the dock at 9pm.

This is the best W&D action we have seen here in NYC, EVER!
