One of the great things about New England is the ocean . The ocean is a great thing to have. The ocean is a place to fish or just to have a great time. One of the most exciting things to do in the ocean is to go whale watching. Over the summer In was lucky enough to experience a whale watch. This was not my first whale watch but I think it's my most memorable. The day was very humid and I thought it was going to be too humid to go on this whale watch. Luckily I was wrong once we left the harbor the temperature dropped about 10 degrees and that was great. The ocean for me is a place to think a place where you look all around and see nothing but water and the other people on the boat. ItÕs just a place to get away from reality, where you can forget about bad things and just think about nice peaceful thoughts. We have been driving for about an hour over a calm ocean and under a sunny blue sky. The we spot our first whale. The whale was a humpback which is the third largest whale. Every one ran to the side of the boat that the whale was on. The whale was great it came to the top of the water taking deep breaths. The breath was a big spray of water and air, it went about 10 feet in the air. About an hour later the caption heard that there were more whales further out. So we began on our way to see more whales. On the way we saw something that we were not expecting to see, a school of dolphins. there was about 30 of them and they were a great sight to see. There were baby dolphins and older dolphins. The younger dolphins looked like they were showing off for all the people on the boat. Some dolphins were doing flips , and others looked like they were playing games like tag and follow the leader. the dolphins followed us for about a half an hour until we got to the other whales, which they to were humpbacks but seemed more playful because they would show there tails and stay on the top of the water more. I enjoyed watching the dolphins more then the whales because they would jump all the way out of the water and they were just more entertaining. The whale watching was done and now it was time to go back. It was about six O'clock and we were on our way back to Hampton N H. This was a great experience for me to learn more about whales and dolphins. I got to enjoy the ocean since I do not get a chance to spend much time on the ocean. On the way back to the harbor I got to experience the sun set from the middle of the ocean which was great. I recommend a whale watch to anyone who enjoys nature.
