Rare sighting of largest animal on Earth

WE’RE HERE. WHALE WATCHERS ON THE NORTH SHORE HAVE A BIG FISH STORY THAT WILL NEVER BE BEATEN. AFTER AN ENDANGERED BLUE WHALE, THE LARGEST ANIMAL ON THE PLANET THAT CAN GROW TO 110FT AND WEIGH 330,000 POUNDS, CAME RIGHT UP TO THEIR BOAT MONDAY MORNING, ABOUT TEN MILES OFF THE COAST OF ROCKPORT LIFE CHANGING, DEFINITELY LIFE CHANGING. IN HER CHILDREN, BENJAMIN AND BRIDGET WERE ON THAT BOAT AFTER THEY GOT A LAST MINUTE INVITE FROM FRIENDS. THE CAPTAIN OF THE SHIP OF THE OF THE CHARTER SAID THAT THERE WAS SOMETHING REALLY BIG UP AHEAD AND WE DIDN’T REALLY KNOW HOW BIG HE MEANT. I’M LIKE, DO I IS THIS REALLY HAPPENING? IT’S VERY EXCITING. UM, CONSIDERING THE FACT THAT WE’VE ONLY SEEN BLUE WHALES FOUR TIMES IN OUR 46 YEARS OF BUSINESS. CAPTAIN JIM DOUGLAS IS THE CO-OWNER OF CAPE ANN WHALE WATCH HERE IN GLOUCESTER. OUR NATURALIST WHO DO THIS EVERY DAY, WERE LITERALLY CRYING ON THE DECK OF THE BOAT WHEN THEY SAW IT. SO IT DOES GIVE YOU GOOSEBUMPS. SO JUST TO GIVE YOU ANOTHER SENSE OF HOW RARE THIS SIGHTING IS, THERE’S A SIGN HERE OF THE WHALES THAT YOU MAY ENCOUNTER ON YOUR TRIP. THEY DON’T EVEN LIST THE BLUE WHALE AS A POSSIBILITY. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, YOU’RE GETTING A LOOK AT A BLUE WHALE. OH. JIM SAYS THE PHONES HAVE BEEN RINGING OFF THE HOOKS WITH PEOPLE TRYING TO BOOK RESERVATIONS AND WHILE THERE’S NO GUARANTEE CUSTOMERS WILL SEE THIS WHALE AGAIN, JIM DOES HAVE SOME GOOD NEWS. THERE WAS ANOTHER BLUE WHALE SIGHTING IN THE SAME WATERS ON THE 4TH OF JULY. JUST KNOWING THAT THERE’S POTENTIALLY TWO OUT THERE AND WHO KNOWS, MAYBE, MAYBE THERE COULD BE MORE IN GLOUCESTER MATT REED WCVB NEWS CENTER FIVE. OH MY GOD, I’VE SAID IT BEFORE. I’M SAYING IT AGAIN. YOU’VE BEEN SAYING I’M DOING A WHALE WATCH. I WANT TO SEE A BLUE WHALE, AN ORCA. I MEAN, THAT’S AMAZING. OR YOU CAN END UP ON THE WATER FOR HOURS. I’M NOT SO ANYTHING I’M GONNA
