Sublime and Beautiful Sunday Watching the Azorean Whale boat crew head out

This post is for #SublimeSunday is inspired by @c0ff33a and #BeautifulSunday is initiated by @ace108.

Good morning I hope your weekend is going well

Yesterday morning, I headed out at around 5AM, as I had been in contact with a member of the Azorean Whaling boat community or club here in New Bedford, and he had told me that one of the crew would be heading out for a row at around 5:45.

I went earlier as I knew the humidity was high and it would fog up my camera lens, but I hoped getting there half an hour before it would settle down by the time the crew arrived, which it did to a degree, but not completly, and add to that it was also misty and foggy yesterday the photos I got are not that great but I am going to share them anyway.

The crew leader did offer for me to go out on the boat with them, but I wasn't feeling that great yesterday, so I declined and stayed on the shore.

I took a couple of my heavier lenses with me, and the extra weight in my arms and camera bag seemed to both the incision from my recent surgery, so I didn't stay out to long, and later in the day I was feeling nauseous and light headed, so it wasnt a great day, I am feeling a bit better this mornig, but taking it easy today.

Anyway onto the photos, this first one a couple of their boats tied up at the dock before the crew arrived.
