Robertson Sea Tours
Author: The Captain
This is Captain Roberton’s son, Jesse, posting, and I want to talk about some of the amazing things I’ve seen this summer. As always, the Puffins are plentiful at Petit Manan light. The lighthouse itself is an amazing sight, standing at 127 feet tall and constructed completely of granite bricks. This summer, I was introduced to the Whale Watch cruises, which are amazing. On every trip, we’ve seen some kind of whale. Whether it was a Humpback, a Fin Whale, or a Pilot Whale, they’d be around. On one cruise we even came across a school of White Sided Dolphins. There was a group of about 150 of them circling, swimming and playing around the boat. The most amazing experience I’ve had, by far, happened on a whale boat with two big Humpback whales. The whales had already been extremely active and we had gotten them up along the side of the boat, and all of a sudden, we saw a huge splash off the stern. A whale had breached, propelling it’s whole body out of the water. But this wasn’t the end. A second whale breached, on the other side of the boat. We began to run forwards, and on each side of the boat there was a whale breaching with fifty feet of the boat. They breached a total of 16 times and it was absolutely awe inspiring. The tours offer sights like this, and so so much more. I would reccomend any of the cruises, they all have their own things to offer.
