Almost a decade later, in August of 2018, Esker found her way into Trinity Bight twice, as if the peace of those shores called her back. The headlands echoed with the happy cries of capelin and kittiwake, and for those brief days, she was part of the summer chorus—her fluke carving stories into the misty air.

February came round again in 2019, and there she was: Silver Bank’s embrace welcomed her once more. But true wonder came in 2022! Esker popped up way up in the wild, chilly waters near Greenland in August, and a month later she was back by Fogo Island, Newfoundland—her travels like a dotted thread on a sailor’s map. By March of 2025, Esker had drifted southwest of Bermuda, ever restless, ever curious, charting her own course through familiar and uncharted blue.

Each sighting hints at a larger story—a map unfinished, an adventure that could cross your very path.
