Thanks for the contribution.

We just returned from our Vineyard cruise. Here's a few pics pulled from
the summer's pile o' pixels. There are two mystery boats for the experts
to identify. I know the answer to the first (as should many readers) but
I'm not sure about the the second.

Like I said, I've seen those whale pictures a couple or more
years ago. I've eidetic memory when it comes to photos.
What sticks it in my mind is the bird doing a sharp turn
near the dorsal fin.

I recall a discussion in this very group where those same
photos were linked (seems to me by you) and there was a
discussion of what kind of whale they were. I recall Capt.
Neal saying they were Right Whales and Mooron calling him
an idiot and saying they were humpback whales and somebody
else (maybe Gilligan) saying they were Minke whales. I'm
sure those guys would remember the photos as well if only they
could sober up for a day or two or if they were still around.
But, it looks like only Gilligan's still around. The chances of
that boy sobering up are slim and none...

Great pics, Jeff...loved the one of Amelia and Molly in the
tree....

Its a case of "you take enough pics, one has to come out right." I
had overlooked it in the first cull.

Amelia's really a pretty girl....

except in most pictures she's sticking out her tongue!

those mooring balls seemed to
be realy close together...wouldn't want to be hanging on one if someone
was on an opposing swing!

We would never think of going there on the weekend; there's normally
fifty boats on the 30 moorings! I don't want to get started on some
of the things I seen! We plan on showing up mid-week when its empty
and leaving Friday.

I just provided the link that I posted 3 years, taken from a nearby
spot. Its probably mostly the same whales. The group is a mix of
humpbacks and minkes. After both sessions, I consulted with the
experts from The Center for Coastal Studies who were at the same sites.

The reason the birds are there is that the whales are herding fish by
swimming in tighter and tighter circles. The birds also circle to
pick up leftovers. We spotted the first group of whales because there
were a large number of birds resting about 5 miles off the coast.
After that, it was all hands on deck as lookouts.

Neal, if your recent institutional stay was voluntary, please go back;
you're not well yet!

Neal? Guess again. But, don't try changing the subject.
You're busted and ya know it. Shame on you using old
pictures and claiming they were taken recently. Some of us
don't smoke dope and have good memories.
