--0000000000005e0fa80590629db5 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" I know these are seen from time to time in the lower Bay of Fundy, such as on whale watching trips out of Brier Island and Grand Manan area. I've seen two or three myself over the years, which is why I thought I knew what we were seeing yesterday. On a family outing to Black Rock lighthouse, Kings Co., we saw one, probably two, mola molas. They were only a few hundred meters offshore and the diagnostic, lazy waving dorsal fin was easily seen. A couple of hours later another was seen even closer, right off the light house at Margaretsville, barely into Anna. Co. As the tide was rising for this entire period, I very much doubt a slow fish like this moved from Black Rock to Margaretsville against the tidal flow. I did get a so-so video at Margaretsville and sent it to Alix d'Entremont, who has a lot more experience on the ocean. He replied "Looks good for mola mola to me. I've never seen anything else behave like that." Regards, Rick. --0000000000005e0fa80590629db5 Content-Type: text/html; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <div dir=3D"ltr"><div dir=3D"ltr"><font size=3D"4">I know these are seen fr= om time to time in the lower Bay of Fundy, such as on whale watching trips = out of Brier Island and Grand Manan area.
