In case our readers are curious why we have been so quiet recently, check out this article on the "fog monster" that has descended on both the Bay of Fundy and Roseway Basin. Although the fog is beautiful, and perhaps would be welcomed by our friends in the heat wave further south, it makes finding whales very difficult!

Philip and Brigid on the bow in the fog hoping to hear or see a whale. The RADAR was on for safety so we had to sit on the deck to avoid its harmful radiation.

The fog is a common issue here in the Bay of Fundy; we had particularly long bouts of it in 2008 and 2012. Our fingers are crossed for a change in the weather pattern that has kept this moisture around for days now.
