WOW, what a week for whale watching in the NY Bight! From Cape May to Montauk and everywhere in-between was on fire with whale watching action! 
Saturday July 20th, I went out on the American Princess Cruises with Gotham Whale. 
Sea and air conditions: SW winds 10-15+ kts. Seas 2 to 3 ft choppy, water temp 70 degrees, mostly cloudy and 82 degrees.
Capt. Frank DeSantis at the helm, the AP Crew was Capt. Jack and Chris. Celia as Naturalist. Gotham Whale – Beth, Celia, and me.
Many whales seen this day but there was one that gave us a show, a non-stop two-hour show. If causing a commotion was what this whale set out to do, they achieved their goal. The commotion – the whale started with breaching, one after another, after another. Spy hopped to see where it was, then into some chin slaps and pec slaps. Followed by some tail throws into tail slaps then into inverted tail slaps…NON-STOP inverted tail slaps, Into a few more breaches then a quick spy hop and back to inverted tail slaps. We had to leave, and the whale kept on with its show. We lost sight of the whale still going nuts!
A passenger said to me “I have traveled the world watching whales. Name the place, if it has to do with watching whales, I have been there. I have never seen a show like this, A humpback whale breaching with the NYC skyline as the backdrop” What is funny, this person lives 2 miles from this whale watching boat. But travels the world to see what was seen right here in their own backyard. 
Get out on a whale watching boat in the NY Bight and see what is going on out there!
