Given the location, I was expecting Northern Right Whales.

From the size and appearance I believe they w= ere Fin Whales and I suspect were after herring in the area. Certainly= a highlight of the trip. A bad part of the trip were the dozens of party b= alloons both near the coast, and offshore, many on the Canadian side. Most = were single but there were also bundles of up to 10  of all colours.
