We took a Whale Watching tour on a Catamaran out of Bar Harbor, Maine. Frankly the boat alone was worth the price of admission–a fast jet powered catamaran. We lucked out and saw a number of humpback whales–the most famous was Spoon the Humpback Whale; Spoon’s one of the largest humpback’s in the Gulf of Maine. You can identify whale’s by the unique marking’s on the fluke. The College of the Atlantic in Bar Harbor, Main maintains the North Atlantic Humpback Whale Catalogue. By the way, I had a GPS unit on the camera while taking pictures so I can plot the track our catamaran took as well as the exact spots of the whale pictures. Cool technology.
