But for visitors to Cape Cod the local whales are a top attraction, and the whale-watching tours, accompanied by naturalist guides, are now well underway, as Brewster innkeepers Byron and Donna Cain write from their B&B Brewster by the Sea http://www.brewsterbythesea.com/ “This past weekend one naturalist commented that the sightings were a dream come true seeing about two dozen humpback whales, over 150 Atlantic whitesided dolphins and a dozen finback whales all in one afternoon tour.” It’s from Provincetown at the northern tip of Cape Cod rather than from Brewster that the daily whale-watching tours set out.
