July 237 , 2006 I was out on the Dolphin Fleet yesterday out of Provincetown.  Thick, THICK, fog in the AM (< 75m visibility, if we were lucky).  In spite of that, we found a couple of minke whales and a few humpbacks.  Colt was one of the humpbacks and, never to disappoint, he came right over to the boat, gave us a brief “once over” and then departed – once again lost in the fog.
