The sky overcast, we worried about our venture on the sea with Captain Bill & Sons Whale Watch. One hour off the coast of Gloucester, through the cold, bitter wind, we saw our first whale. At first, just the sight of its fins piercing the ocean surface was enough to excite our group of fourteen. But soon after, we were fortunate enough to see numerous whales feed. Their tails would disappear into the water, seemingly for several minutes, until suddenly the whales exploded from the water, mouths open, catching fish. In all, we saw more than ten whales. This adventure was a nice break from our learning expeditions, an adventure I will never forget.
