Whale watching cruise. It was quite windy on the boat, but Ariel endured just fine.
The cruise had to go well beyond Cape Cod Bay into the ocean to find whales.
The whales were bubble feeding; a method of concentrating their prey.
After a lovely dinner at The Nimrod in Falmouth.

Ariel got over it, and it all turned out OK.
