Different. That was the word of the day among the pelagic guides. After over 100 pelagic trips, one fifth in the month of October, we had never seen another day like it. Two weeks earlier we had tripled our record high number of South Polar Skuas. Though there were no such numbers this day, we spotted an incredible 17 HUMPBACK WHALES in the flat seas, many quite near shore.
