A New Hampshire man celebrating his birthday on the ocean with his three daughters captured video of something so rare that even marine scientists are jealous — three humpback whales leaping from the water in near perfect unison.
A New Hampshire man celebrating his birthday on the ocean with his three daughters captured video of something so rare that even marine scientists are jealous — three humpback whales leaping from the water in near perfect unison.
“It was such an uplifting thing to see. Just incredible,” Robert Addie said.The Portsmouth man, now a home remodeler, spent decades on the water as a commercial fisherman in Mᴀssachusetts and Alaska. In that time, he said he’s seen thousands of whales.
“A triple breach is unheard of and a synchronized triple breach is even rarer,” he said. “It’s once in a lifetime. Just very fortunate. I feel God shined down on me to allow me to capture that.”To add to the thrill, seconds after the three whales breached and twisted through the air, a juvenile whale did the same thing.
“Even some of the whale experts that have reached out to me, they’re all jealous because they’ve never seen it,” Addie said.
