Description

Whale watch off Gloucester, MA about 30 years ago - nasty cold weather that day. I have not had the best of luck scanning photos that old but here is my second pick. We found that when a whale came in close, the whale would roll over on one side and "wave" their flipper at us. We also found that when everyone, on the boat, - clapped, whistled and screamed, the fin "waving" lasted longer and more energetic. Keep in mind that we are out in the Atlantic Ocean and not at Sea World. Thanks for stopping by, taking a look and for all your previous comments & favs. Dana
