it's that time of the year again for the whales to come swimming by! I heard there was a great sighting this week just off Jost. Anyone on STT see anything yet?
Now the laundry and cleaning are going to have to wait a few months!

Saw one north of outter brass yesterday. I didn't actually see it, but my husband did...
Then a friend who lives out on the West end posted on FB that she just saw one.
I'd guess it was the same one.

Yup - can't do laundry and/or cleaning during a whale watch !!!

One of my clients reported while fishing from STX this weekend they had at least one nearby and saw it (or them) come completely out of the water 3 times.
That must have been quite a sight!!!

We saw Whales Thursday in front of our house at Salt River.
A whale came completely out of the water 3 times. It was a wonderful sight.
Anchor Dive was out following the whales, that had to be awesome for them since one came very close to the boat.

Hiya - I think the ones that visit the USVI are the Humpback species.
