How Many Whales can you see while Whale Watching in Cape Cod?

I think we hit the jackpot yesterday,  we saw off the coast of Cape Cod at least 20 Whales and many with their calf's.

We decided to go at the last minute because we heard the water would be calm which would make a HUGE difference in terms of the sea sickness. Unfortunately, my older sister and her family did not join us.

Whales…..

More whales…..

Tails….

For me, not only was seeing those incredible animals up close and doing their thing,

• like feeding,
• flipping their tails on the water to get more fish up,
• diving  
• waving at us with their fins

.. but the interactions between the cousins was just as exciting.

They are cousins…… they are friends!

Each of Jill's youngsters checked out my sons braces.  They had fun discovering any type of food that was available on the boat (I guess seeing the whales eat made them very hungry.)

It was an hour ride out to where the whales are, and an hour back.  

Why is it the way back is Always Longer??

That was a great time to just relax, catch up with each other and see how the kids entertained themselves. ,

"The journey is as important as the arrival"  

In this case,  the arrival of seeing so many Whales all over the place, searching for the blows so we could go and see a different group of whales, was more exciting than our journey,  but I loved the journey as well.

You are on the boat, no where to go, the sun is shining, the wind in your face, and you just have to relax and enjoy the free time and togetherness.

There are some people that miss out on amazing moments because they focus on what you might be doing,  like riding in a car, or 4 hours on a boat.  

I always say, it really doesn't matter what we are doing, as long we are doing it together!  

Together,  Together… life is sweet,  especially when there are some whales in the middle!!

Happy Whale Watching!!
