We woke up at
Mackaye
Harbor and had a quick breakfast before making some phone calls to try to figure out where the whales were. The morning was spent working on sustainability projects and data analysis. Wes cooked her special Lebanese surprise soup and toasted cheese sandwiches for lunch. Independent work continued after lunch until Wildside radioed us to tell us that members of J pod were off the lighthouse. We finally caught up with the whales around 4:30 in the afternoon. We spent about two hours recording S1, S7, and S10 calls, as well as whistles and clicks. Liz and Jason ID’d J1, J8, J26, as well as J11 with her calf. Kenna took some great photos of cartwheels and breaches. As the sun was setting, Mike headed us back to Mackaye for the night. Heather and Elise cooked macaroni & cheese primavera with salad for a late dinner. After dinner, a few hardworking souls sat in front of computers—going through photos from the day and writing this blog.
