I went whale watching for the first time this season and saw about 50 Atlantic white sides dolphins, 70 seals, 1 fin whale, 5 minke whales, and 7 humpback whales.
I have seen a fin whale once before but it was pretty far and only for a second. So it was very cool to be able to see this one so well. Today I also learned fin whales are one of the only asymmetrical vertebrate species. "Fin whales have distinctive coloration—black or dark brownish-gray on the back and sides and white on the underside. Head coloring is asymmetrical—dark on the left side of the lower jaw, white on the right-side lower jaw, and the reverse on the tongue."
So all in all it was a really fun day.

The most pervasive representation of whale noises in popular culture are the beautiful songs of humpback whales, which makes sense: they're pretty cool! But there's a whole weird, wonderful world of other whale vocalizations, and here's some of my favorites:
North Atlantic right whales have a call that sounds like a gunshot. It's speculated to be related to reproduction
Minke whales make a bizarre 'boing' noise that baffled navies when it was first heard
Dwarf minke whales make an arguably even weirder noise that has been compared to star wars sound effects
The noises a blue whale, the largest species of whale, makes are below the threshold of human hearing, and need to be sped up in order to be heard at all
And on the opposite end of the spectrum, the noises the smallest species of whale, the vaquita, makes are are above the threshold of human hearing and need to be slowed down to be heard!
Gray whales sound like they're playing the bongos
Ever wondered what rough-toothed dolphins sound like?
Sperm whales communicate with a complex series of clicks that sound like morse code. Each group has their own unique series of clicks called a coda
Wanna hear a narwhal?
North Atlantic right whales greet each other with a vocalization called an upcall, which sounds like a slide whistle going up!
Bowhead whale songs are compared to jazz. I'm not sure I hear it, but it's definitely cool
And finally, I found this while I was looking for videos of these sounds. Please enjoy (?)

By the time we decked in port, my heart rate had settled somewhat – though my knees were still trembling as I helped tie off the lines. I stood for a moment, gazing at our small vessel, taking in the smattering of bullet holes along the hull as my own wound ached.
It may not look like much… But it’s home now.
Even my muscles knew that I didn’t belong on land anymore, tensing automatically to correct me against movement that didn’t exist.
Captain Tyne came up beside me, barely hesitating before linking his fingers with mine. “Have you ever been to Indonesia?” he inquired absently, his thumb skimming over the back of my hand as we moved forward, passing from the relative uniformity of the small port and into the uneven alleys lined with crates and boxes, the smell of animal waste making my stomach curl.
“It doesn’t seem like I’ve missed anything,” I muttered, glancing about myself, and he smiled.
“Most of it is beautiful – but we dock here for a reason.”
I raised an inquisitive eyebrow, but he said nothing more, just led the way into a crowded market full of bustle and vendors shouting in a multitude of languages.
“What reason is that?” I prompted softly as we slipped between customer and seller bargaining in rapid Thai.
He pulled me closer to the nearest stall, using the pressing crowds as a convenient excuse to hold me flush against his side, inclining his head toward the merchandise. “Intel.”
I followed his indication, bile rising in my throat at the sight before me. I might not know Indonesian, rendering the signs useless in aiding my understanding – but I had done enough research before joining the crew to recognise the macabre butchery before me.
Scalloped Hammerhead.
Oceanic Whitetip.
Mahakam.
Sand Tiger.
“These are all endangered,” I muttered under my breath, fury sparking in my veins at the spectacle, tracing my finger mournfully across the detached fin of an Atlantic Humpback as Greg nodded stiffly, leaning forward and testing several languages before settling on Malay, speaking with quiet, rapid urgency. The merchant opened his mouth furiously, but the Lieutenant simply spoke faster, one hand subtly slipping between them. The seller’s face cleared, then paled, and he nodded once, muttering back and inching away uncertainly. My Captain nodded over his shoulder, and two of my crewmates descended from the crowd, hurriedly tipping the contents of several of the merchant’s half-crates into their sacks. The man simply inclined his head in begrudging gratitude, and Greg steered me quickly away as his crewmen dissolved wordlessly back into the masses.
“What just happened?” I pressed under my breath, and he shot me a half grin.
“Our notoriety proceeds us,” he offered as we left the bustling market behind, fingers finding mine once. “Sellers are often willing to rat out their suppliers and give up their wares with a little… Persuasion.” He raised his other hand, revealing a flip-style badge emblazoned with the words ‘Shark Defence Initiative’. “We won’t have them making their money on the slaughter, but they get to trade their freedom for information.”
“Won’t they just go back to trafficking the moment we leave?” I asked, frowning, and he shrugged.
“We have a network. Folks that check in on the sellers we’ve interacted with, gather intel of their own…” Glancing at me, he shot me a smirk. “You’d be surprised by how infrequently those sellers go back to trafficking. I think the fear of being arrested is pretty motivating.”
I nodded slowly, impressed – and somewhat daunted – by the level of organisation and consideration that the SDI had put into their actions. They were often reported to be chaotic, poorly-planned – but here was the evidence to the contrary.
Is it possible that they cultivate this image of chaos as a deception? A ruse, to lull their enemies into a false sense of security?
I considered my Captain once more, his pace slowing as we returned once more to paved streets lined with stores. “… How long have you been with the Initiative?”
“Two years,” he replied easily, entirely at ease in the foreign maze.
“It’s only been active for three, right?” I clarified, and he waggled a hand thoughtfully.
“In an official capacity – yes,” he smiled, “but the folks who founded it were playing pirate long before that. They just made it a little more… Structured.”
“Has it changed much? Since you joined?”
He hummed under his breath, lips skimming my temple. “Yes… And no. We’ve gone from one ship to four, and we have a much broader web of informants… But the fundamentals haven’t changed at all. To protect, at any cost.”
I smiled wryly, inclining my head with curiosity. “When I first met you… It seemed you hated this life.”
Shaking his head quickly, he began to guide me down a side street, silent as he considered his answer.
“I love this life,” he replied eventually, lips still quirked down in a thoughtful frown. “I love making a difference – giving life instead of taking it. I love being back on the ocean and travelling the world…” He cut himself off to sigh heavily, scrubbing a hand over his jaw. “But I hate that this job comes with seeing the very worst and most cruel of humanity on a daily basis. I hate that 80% of our new recruits can’t hack it and we have to go through the process all over again. I hate that I have to put my crew in danger – that their very lives are at risk – every time we try to do the right thing. And I despise that it’s necessary at all. I love this job, Win. I just hate that it needs to exist.”
I nodded slowly, offering his fingers a squeeze, and he shot me a weak smile. “Come on. We’re only ashore for a few days – let’s go find some good food, good drinks, and good beds.”
Tumblr media
The night was winding down by the time he nervously leant closer, the smell of fruity juices on his breath making me smile. When I told him I didn’t drink anymore – after a rough few years while I grappled with my trauma – he’d immediately rescinded his original order of beer, despite my protests that I had no objection to his consumption.
“I… I can get you your own, if you like,” he murmured, and I blinked in surprise at the light flush colouring his cheeks.
“I’m… Good? I’m still nursing this one,” I offered uncertainly, pointedly raising my half-full glass, and watching with amusement as the unanticipated blush grew deeper.
“A room, I meant,” he clarified quietly, the tips of his ears flushing beetroot when I laughed in shock. “O-Or you can have my cabin, or-”
I silenced him with a quick kiss, squeezing his fingers. “I want to stay with you,” I reassured him softly, feeling a gentle blush colour my cheeks, eyes lowered shyly.
He brought my hand to his face, lips skimming over my knuckles tenderly. “I’d be honoured,” he whispered, gaze finding mine as his smooth, suave confidence returned. The track overhead changed to something somewhat slower, but with a pulsing beat that made my bones tremble, and he grinned. “May I have this dance, Snowflake?”
I felt my flush deepen as I nodded, letting him lead me through to the makeshift dance floor – a space simply cleared of seating, where a number of couples were already moving together. I knew how to dance, but not to this; my life was limited to a box step and slow-dancing, picked up over the years. He raised an eyebrow at my hesitation, using his grip on my fingers to pull me flush against his chest. “Don’t you worry, baby boy… I’ve got you.”
With a soft purr, I rested my cheek gently on his chest for a moment before letting him guide me into a quick eight-beat, his hands on my hips easing me into a gyrating, sensual movement. I gasped in surprise as he turned me quickly, fingertips digging into my flesh lightly as we moved in unison. It was until his lips found my throat and I moaned under my breath, the sound causing a subtle, unconscious twitch in his hips, that I became around of his arousal pressing against my ass, making my face heat once more.
But despite my shyness, my uncertainty, I reached back to tangle a hand in his hair, earning a sharp gasp when I shifted firmly against him, his grip hardening automatically. “You don’t have to do that,” he breathed, sending goosebumps along my neck with his breath.
“I know,” I whispered softly, grinding a little harder, head falling back against his shoulder.
I want to.
I felt… Powerful, knowing that this man – this beautiful, strong, charismatic man – was aroused by me, even if it was strictly in terms of physical stimulation rather than actual attraction.
But from the way his muscles flexed, hands hard on my skin, I found myself believing that attraction really did play a part.
It wasn’t just want.
He wanted me.
He stiffened minutely, and I turned my head to follow his gaze as she looked away, brow furrowed. “What is it?” I pressed softly, and he frowned, nodding towards a pair of men in the corner a few feet away, talking in quick, hushed words that I could not comprehend. I cocked my head in confusion, and he flicked his eyes to me, his hearing still fully concentrated on the conversation. “My Bugis is patchy… But they’re discussing a trade. Reptiles. Lizards, I think.” His eyes widened, and he paled. “Blue-spotted tree monitors. Infants. Live ones,” he added at a growl, eyes flashing. I felt his fingers curl in anger against my sides and kissed his cheek gently as the pair headed toward the door. “Go,” I breathed, digits lacing with his to squeeze reassuringly. He hesitated, and I nodded encouragingly. “Go. I’ll be fine. I’ll wait here, okay? Go and be… You, Lieutenant Tyne.”
He smiled and kissed me quickly, eyes already shifting to the exist as he backed away. “Thank you, Snowflake.”
My heart fluttered a little in my chest, and I offered him a tender smile as he began to back from view.
“Stay safe, Captain.”
Tumblr media
I sat nursing my soda, simply enjoying the passage of time in the bustling space, absently watching patrons go about their business and their lives with a sense of content satisfaction. I could see what Greg had meant when he spoke of the job – the fact that it was needed it was horrible, but it was one I was proud to do.
Every now and then, I glanced around, the hair on the back of my neck prickling with the unexplainable sensation of being observed, but I never found eyes on me, and eventually I stopped looking, shrugging as I decided it was simply an effect of being around so many people against after so long at sea with the same small handful.
I was on my third drink when someone approached, boots pausing at the edge of my eyeline from where I gazed, unfocused, at the table. Glancing up, I found a man stood beside me, no older than twenty, with an unreadable expression on his face.
“Can I help you?” I prompted, polite but nervous, and his lips quirked at the edges.
“You’re one of them, aren’t you? The SDI?” he murmured shyly, scuffing his feet, a hint of a French accent in the words that made me smile.
Someone else far from home.
I nodded, offering him a reassuring grin. “I am… Why do you ask?”
His face lit up, and he blushed with enthusiastic excitement. “Can I buy you a drink? I’d love to hear more about it!”
With a laugh, I extended a hand to my Captain’s vacated chair. “You’d be very welcome.”
Tumblr media
“Didn’t someone once say ‘violence for violence is the rule of beasts’?”
I chuckled wryly, leaning back in my seat to assess the youth – Frank, he’d informed me when prompted, a seventeen year old runaway. “Sometimes violence is the only answer. Folks have tried the nice approach for decade; it’s helped, for sure, but it hasn’t been enough. Populations are still falling – and for what? So some rich asshole half a world away can have his soup with a side of ego?” I shook my head with a sigh. “It’s just so… Asinine. It can’t be allowed to continue – and that’s what the SDI is all about.”
A soft smile graced my lips as I noted distantly that the speech was startlingly similar to the one Neri had given to me. Only a few months ago, I realised abruptly, tipping my head back to drain the last of my glass.
It feels like a lifetime.
“Another?” he pressed, and I laughed.
“You still have questions?”
“Tons,” he replied immediately, grinning, and I shook my head fondly.
“I need to run to the bathroom – again,” I snorted, rolling my eyes. “Guess I’m not used to free access to liquids anymore!”
Tumblr media
Even after all the time – and being built as I now was – I still got a flutter of anxiety in public restrooms, glancing over my shoulder for any sign that I should be concerned. The feeling of being watched was still there, burning a hole in the back of my head, but I couldn’t see anyone, no matter how many times I looked around.
Nudging my way into the bathroom, I curled my lip at the smell of alcohol and urine, shaking my head.
No matter where you go in the world, one thing is always the same… The gents on a Friday night.
The space was empty as I went to wash my hands, and the sound of the door banging made me jump, gaze shooting up to the mirror before me to lock eyes with a man over my shoulder. His presence behind me made me nervous, but I met the dark gaze steadily and offered a silent, polite smile. He simply stared back evenly until I looked away, heat prickling up the back of my neck at his intensity.
Hands clean, I went to brush past him, jerking away as he leant closer, his breath hot on my face. It wasn’t until I’d pushed by in a panic, desperate to get away from the sudden, startling proximity, that the fact that he’d spoken began to register in my mind.
“No good deed goes unpunished.”
Tumblr media
I was still shaken by the time I returned to my seat, thoughts leaping between trains of thought, and I frowned as I reached absently for the strap of my holdall.
“I moved it out of the way. Here – I got you another drink,” Frank added quickly, sliding a glass across the table toward me. Any questions were pushed from my mind as I glanced over shoulder, watching as the man from the bathroom disappeared into the crowd.
“I… Yeah. Thanks.” My fingers found the glass, raising it instinctively to my mouth as my eyes continued to survey the throngs.
“It’s getting pretty loud in here, huh?”
Gaze flicking to Frank, I took him in once more, struggling to shift my focus back to the youth before me. My thoughts were disjointed and scattered, and I could only nod, scarcely registering that he’d spoken. “Shall we go someplace quieter so we can keep talking?”
Another nod, easily agreeable in my distraction, and I stood as he did, eyes slowly lowering as I followed him with utter compliance through the press of patrons, fractured thoughts straining to latch on to something solid.
There’s something I’m forgetting. I’m forgetting something important, I think… I just can’t find it…
I stumbled as he led me out of the door, narrower than I remembered, the street beyond darker, more enclosed, than I thought, littered with empty bottles and scraps of food ground into broken cobbles. Frank turned to face me, a frown creasing his expression as he weaved worryingly. “You okay, man? You’re not looking so hot.”
I nodded absently, metal palm meeting the wall with a dull thud when my feet reacted too slowly to catch me as I tried to step forward. “Fine, I…” Words died on my tongue as it turned to lead, and I could only grunt, sinking slowly to my knees, vision turning dark around the edges.
A hand found my shoulder heavily, and I fought against the increasing crush of gravity to raise my head, attempting to peer through the dense fog to follow the tanned arm attached to the vice-like grip on me – but before I could see anything beyond weather-worn skin and a multitude of scars, my sight failed me, eyes rolling back as I slumped hard to the ground.
“About time. Get him up. This’ll teach that anjing perek to stay out of our business.” Hands under my arms hoisted me upright, taking the entirety of my weight as my consciousness ebbed and my feet dragged uselessly behind me.
As I snatched distantly at the dregs of reality, the last thing I felt was warm breath on my cheek, the same man who’d issued orders whispering in my ear.
“You brought this on yourself.”

I went whale watching near the Stellwagen marine preserve (Massachusetts coast) last weekend, we did see some humpbacks but in terms of photography, the pod of Atlantic white-sided dolphins was particularly impressive 🥲

we found the whales
We found the whales the third day out of NYC, on the south edge of Stellwagen Bank. There was clearly upwelling with all the levels of a robust trophic web, and there were whale spouts in all directions. The whales present were largely Humpbacks (Megaptera novaeangliae, long winged New Englander) but we also saw Finbacks, Atlantic Whitesided Dolphins, and possibly one or two Right Whale spouts.…

Gay men's pride flag: rough toothed dolphin

Pan flag: pantropical spotted dolphin
Bi flag: Long-finned pilot whale 
Aromantic flag: Dusky dolphin

Top Ten things to do in Iceland
Iceland – a country in the northern part of the globe – conjures up myriad visuals in our minds. It's a land of undecipherable volcanoes, aurora borealis, rocky mountains, stunning waterfalls, and surreal landscapes.
Iceland Tourism strives to create awareness of the numerous beautiful and magical experiences to avail of while you are in this surreal country.
There's certainly a lot to see and things to do in Iceland, from hot springs to waterfalls, volcanoes, and glaciers. Check it out:
Plunge into the Blue Lagoon.
The Blue Lagoon is one of the most well-known international geothermal spas and Iceland's most prominent tourist destination. The water from the hot springs is incredibly healthful and advantageous to the skin, with temperatures around 39 degrees Celsius. You will feel like walking into a fantasyland when you visit the Blue Lagoon area.
 Cruise along the Golden Circle
The Golden Circle is Iceland's most famous day excursion. It is one of the most popular tourist routes, featuring stunning landscapes and fascinating history. Three popular sites along the road are Thingvellir National Park, Gullfoss Waterfall, and Geysir Geothermal Area.
Take a whale-watching trip.
The Icelandic coastal waters are home to several dolphin and whale species. During the summer, the coasts of Iceland become the prime feeding grounds for whales and other large marine mammals, allowing you to see these incredible creatures in their natural environment. It is your first opportunity to discover a humpback or blue whale in action.
Witness the Northern Lights.
The Northern Lights are a magnificent sight on clear winter nights in Iceland. The aurora borealis is the name given to these dancing lights.
