No doubt whales come in darn close - probably not a right whale though. There are less than 300 of them in the North Atlantic now, and their migrations are tracked pretty closely. A large number of them winter over in CC Bay, but they have all Migrated North to the Maritimes by now - they are really cold water animals.

Could have easily been a Finback - they're bigger than the Humpbacks, and can tolerate some pretty warm water.

Anyway, Pretty cool sighting in there.
