The last two days have brought rough seas with numerous white caps, difficult conditions under which to see whales. But, not impossible, as Pat LaMee in Sector 5N (Daytona Beach) discovered when, surveying from Andy Romano Park yesterday, he spotted a breaching whale. The whale breached numerous times over several minutes, then disappeared. There was no time to mount a response and the short viewing time coupled with challenging sighting conditions made it difficult for the team to see the details necessary to positively identify it as a humpback or a right whale. Hats off to Pat for a good catch and providing encouragement for the rest of us!
The next two days should have much improved conditions and we plan to have the Air Cam flying. Let’s see if we can find more whales!
