Sunday, August 10, 2025 Happy Birthday Rachael! Departed Yarmouth at 9:30am. Cruised to the mouth of the Bay of Fundy to whale watch. We were not close enough for good photos. Not sure the type, possibly a Humpback Whale because of the white fluke spots.
A few playful seagulls were seen also.
For dinner we made Balsamic Chicken with peppers over rice.
Our current heading is for Provincetown, Massachusetts, back to the USA, and so our “watches” begin. Steve and I are up first, 5:30pm to midnight. Followed by Dan and Tammy till morning. This will be a two night continuous passage to Massachusetts, today is Day 1.

Always fun going through NY, just need time it right with the current. Martha’s Vineyard, Nantucket are for another trip, plus we needed to be back we have a family wedding to attend.
How long will you be there? You may have rough surf end of the week!
