Cruise into Wellfleet Harbor to see Seals and Seabirds:
CAPE COD BAY SEAL & SEABIRD CRUISES

Offered by
Mass Audubon’s Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary

Enjoy a cruise out of Wellfleet Harbor to Billingsgate Shoal aboard the
Naviator. This area is excellent for viewing both gray and harbor seals as
the rest on Billingsgate Shoal and swim in surrounding waters. Late fall
also brings migrating sea ducks (eiders, scoters, oldsquaws) as well as
loons, gannets, and kittiwakes. Mass Audubon naturalists will be on board to
identify seal and birds, share natural history information, and points of
interest. This trip accommodates up to 35 people. The boat has an enclosed
cabin, but the best viewing is from the deck, so dress warmly!

Dates:  	Saturday, November 20, Noon–2 p.m.
		Saturday, November 27, 2–4 p.m.
		Saturday, December 4, 10:30 a.m.–12:30 p.m.
