A Summer of Great Moments

Life has a way of handing us great moments when we least expect them. And so it was with my summer as an on board naturalist on the Whale Watcher out of Barnstable Harbor, Cape Cod, MA. 

I would like to thank the owners, captains, crew, staff, naturalists and passengers of Hyannis Whale Watcher Cruises and the dedicated researchers and scientists from the Whale and Dolphin Conservation Society for inviting me to share a summer of, what I can only call, magic.

Within those moments, I can still hear the excitment of voices, the resounding slaps of whale tails, flippers and splashing breaches, the exhalations of the whales, their trumpeting, the sounds of the seabirds joining the feast and sandlance fleeing for their lives as they skipped in droves across the water.  

One thing, for sure, I will never look out over a body of water again without thinking of the incredible universe, life and beauty below and, of course, above.

And, the best part? The experience is available to everyone.  All you have to do is to show up and the magic takes place.

This what all my grand babies are getting for Christmas!

And once again, thank you to Hyannis Whale Watcher Cruises, Sue and Regina from the Whale and Dolphin Conservation Society for the experience of a life time and, of course, the Whales. I love you guys.
