1/28/16 Solo Humpback

Today we snuck out between squalls to go get a glimpse of the humpback activity we've been seeing from shore between Race Point and Spire Island.  We observed on humpback that was lingering back and forth VERY close to the shoreline.  No flukes, I'm assuming not diving too deep.  We spent about 20 minutes watching it and it never left this 200 yard section of shoreline.  In the same area, there were 10 or more sea lions in some sort of continual frenzy very close to shore.  Not sure what was going on, but it was interesting.

With no fluke shots, we have no way of knowing if this is the same whale we saw in the area recently.  Comparing dorsal fin patterns, it doesn't appear to be the same whale.
