Not the Buzzards Bay Coalition, which sponsors several seal and seabird cruises throughout the winter. Our intrepid photographer, Glenn C. Silva, braved the February temps, albeit milder than usual this year, and joined about two dozen hardy souls to espy the playful seals.
The trip left out of Falmouth, aboard the “Islander,” part of the Patriot Party Boats fleet, with Captain Dick Smith at the helm.
On board were bird experts and lots of long lenses to capture the wildlife and seals in and around Woods Hole.
The boat got nice and close for some super shots of seals and birds.
