"Yesterday, as soon as we came out of the channel, there was a minke whale. He didn't stay for very long, only surfacing twice and then leaving. The rest of the tours were filled with pilot whales. The first was a small pod of 8 pilot whales 3 miles from the harbour in the morning. There were 2 babies and 3 juveniles with them. It was really hard to tell where were exactly, because the fog was surrounding us. The rest of the day, there were pilots between Meat Cove and Cape St. Lawrence and about a mile off shore. There were 2 pods that I got a good look at. The first one had about 12 whales with 2 babies and 4 juveniles. The other had 10 whales with only 3 juveniles. After these guys passed us by 3 large pilots came swimming after them. I'm pretty sure they were part of the same pod, just spread out a bit. There were 2 more pods father out, with maybe 8 whales in each pod.
