How can I see more of Apex?

A Real Whale Watch Trip-September 3, 2003 ($12.95)

We left the pier and 40 minutes later sailed into the Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary.  We were delighted when we spied Apex and what a show she provided a boat full of people.  She began lobtailing close to the boat and this is the best way to identify the individual whale.
