A large pod of humpback whales continued their feeding in the waters between Squibnocket and Noman's Land. Most were feeding in groups of three. But one group consisted of five whales. The spouts from the whales were seen in all directions for miles away. Way off in the distance a whale come almost totally out of the water and crashed back done to the surface.
