On the Cape Radio station, they say there have been about 60 somthing right whales hanging in the area, and have asked all boaters to go slow in the area.

BBJ, I saw them there on Friday as well. Awesome sight! I forgot my camera but my buddy Paul and I spent a good hour watching them feed in the shallows and some further out were really getting their tails high in the air for some large splashes. Sometimes they'd be upsidedown so we got a good look at their flippers on their sides and they did not look like humpbacks even though we thought they were because of the bumpy front mouth areas and the smallish dorsal. Their side flippers seemed very broad and not long like a humpback, also they were black.
25-40 foot long seemed like what they measured in length to me. Maybe some kind of finback or right whale or pilot whale. I bet they were chowing on sandeels. Lots of others were watching them also and taking pics. It was the first time my friend has ever seen a whale. Also the first time he's been on that beach since 1973.

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

What a great welcome back to RP for your Bud, eh? I've been re-thinking the humpback id, myself. Now I'm just confused. But what a show!

99.9 CapeCod reported that there is still a pod of Right Whales in the area and all boat traffic is to be careful.
I am sure this is what you are all seeing. Wish it was me seeing them!

Could they have Minke whales? We watched a pod of them work the surf off an Outer Cape beach last year. They were in and out of the bars almost within fly rod distance  . They are about 15- 20 ft and appear black from above. |
