Ocean Critters

 As we were sailing from Norfolk to Cape May about 5 miles or so off the coast we saw this flipper coming out of the water.  At first we thought it was a fish jumping out of the water and then we realized it was a Right Whale playing!  They are endangered creatures and tend to stay fairly close to the coast.  Very docile - but I have read that even if they know you are there they won't move.  Up around Cape Cod they have specific routes you have to follow during their migration times - which is now.  If you stay in those areas you are less likely to get too close to them.  And that is a good thing as they are massive.

Dolphins

 At one point we had dolphins on one side of the boat and whales on the other.  Pretty darn cool!
