How old do whales get.

Found interesting article about the the possiblity that whales can live a longer time then previously noted.

I don't think people understand that whales and dolphins have a degree of communication that still isn't fully understood.

Three's Company

Took this last year. We had three whales blow at the same time. Looking forward to having another great year. Start up in just 2 months!

Blue Fin Tuna

One of the things that people remark to us on the Whale Boat is that the size of Blue Fin Tuna when we point out the schools of tuna during our trips out to see the whales. They have a hard time understanding the size, they are to use to seeing the little cans of tuna on the grocery store shelf.

So to show people how big blue fin tuna can get, here is a picture of one with a local charter fishermen who caught one last year. The Captain's name is Tom Mansfield, and he was the pilot for the Lobster Boat one season a few years back. So some of you will recognize him.

A bit of summer in the winter

I was going thru the images that I have collected over the years and I found this one of the yacht "Adiz" that was moored off the Breakers one summer after a small rain shower. I love the rainbow in the back ground.

The "Adiz" was on the final leg of a world tour from what I understood at the time of this picture.

We are on Facebook

Well "First Chance Whale Watch" has a Facebook page. So if you have a facebook page we would like for you to become of of our friends. Let's see if we can get over 100 friends by the start of the Whale Season.......

Some of our friends have already started posting pictures of their trip with us.

Boat Launch Primer

Just remember new boat owners, back your boat into the water at the public ramp.

I hope this brings a smile to your frozen faces.

Brrrrr. Its cold in Kennebunk Maine.

Winter is approaching..

Oh the weather out there is cloudy, the christmas music is playing on the radio, and I would like to go out for a boat ride. I guess that is not possible since the Whale Boat is all weather proofed and sealed up with plastic on the upper decks. The marina is filled up with boats and all buttened up for the first of the snow storms that are yet to come. I am hoping the snow will be delayed until January..

Hey Captain Adam when are you going to take your charter boat out for the season? Or is that the new tender for "Nick's Chance"?
