Each sighting brought subtle changes. Some years, the air tingled with anticipation, as if the whales themselves were marking something special. Then in 2011, Eunice was spotted again—this time with a calf, her devotion on display as the little one trailed her, learning the way of the waves. The bay, alive with puffin calls and salt-tinged breeze, became their nursery.

Eunice reappeared in 2013, once more with a youngster by her side. That summer, Witless Bay blossomed—a haven for mothers and calves, with Eunice sharing her secrets of the shallows and safe inlets. Between each season, there’s a long hush—years unaccounted for, hinting at grand oceanic journeys beyond our charts. Yet, whenever she returns, it feels like a family reunion for the whole bay.
