I'm thinking a fun thing to do this summer might be to take the boat out
to Stellwagen Bank or other whale spots. It would give my crew and guests
a taste of offshore life and be an interesting quest.

Has anybody done this in a sailboat? I'm wondering things like whether
public sighting reports are available, probability of seeing anything,
etc.

Of course if you are in company, it might not be a problem, but whales
can and do sink sailboats (or other boats), and there are rules about
interfering with them. At least I see such things marked on the
charts.
