"Happy April Fools Day! The crew was not foolin' around today in our quest to find a whale! We found Patch, #49, at the north end of Gedney Island heading towards Saratoga Passage. Our guests soon discovered the origin of his name, that he was given 17 years ago! With some great looks at the gentle giant he switched directions, apparently not quite certain which population of ghost shrimp he wanted to snack on! The light wind allowed our guests the unique opportunity to see Patch cut through the waves with his immense body!" - Naturalist Kate Janes
