Thanks for the sighting update! Wish I could go hop on the ferry to look.

If anyone has the day off and wishes to see it, board a ferry to Southworth. It is just hanging out a little ways North of terminal. Can you call WSF and let them know it is close to dock?

That was a humpback off Lincoln Park last night, likely the same one being reported this morning.
