Due to hit a force 6 today so me and Brian decided to do a late night in the Arctic sun. The best hours whale watching ever, at least 2 spermies and 18 plus blues, some with calf’s. We finished at 3.30 am in complete light 🐋❤️

Our team on @FredOlsenCruise lines #Balmoral took the opportunity of a port call in #Boston #Massachusetts to go #whalewatching on #StellwagenBank. The first whale encountered was no less than 'Salt', the Grande Dame of Stellwagen Bank, the most well-known humpback in the world!

Surprising end to a fairly quiet day with a juvenile BROWN BOOBY coming in to roost on @FredOlsenCruise Balmoral this evening as we cross the Atlantic towards Canada! Wasn't expecting that one! More photos in thread.....
