I heard (all the way up here in the frozen tundra called Vermont) that there were wales sited out in Coral Bay near John's Folley. Did any of you lucky islanders or visiting tourists get to see them? For four years I've looked for them while on STJ and it figures 2 weeks after we leave they show up.

Hope someone had the joy of seeing them.

Sailed by a pod of 3-4 adult females and either 1 or 2 young today between Great Thatch and Whistling Key, north of the Narrows about 10 am.
