On the afternoon of the 9th of June, I got the chance to ship out into the North Atlantic Ocean to spot some whales. We saw one minke whale, a number of white-beaked dolphins and a host of really cool birds. One of these birds in particular was the Puffin.
Unfortunately, I don't have the greatest photos of the wildlife, because, they're wild. The birds were flying all over the place and our sea mammal friends would pop-up for just a moment anywhere about the boat. It was also pretty cold out on the boat and there were many people on the boat that sometimes blocked some pretty sweet views. Not to mention, my camera case flew away into the ocean (it can be pretty windy out on the ocean), so I was somewhat apprehensive to take my camera out of my pocket too much.
I did catch a pretty good photo of a whale leaping out of the water:
I think the camera did some funny stuff with the appearance of the whale, the water and the horizon.

Looks like you had a good time. I wish I can go out one day and see the big whales. :)
