Bernie Hill our spotter came down to our offices before we headed out. 2 humpbacks at the safe water marker in King George Sound, 2 humpbacks between the safe water marker and Seal Rock and more blows seen further out side on the line from Bald Head to Breaksea Island. So off we go :)
With in 20 minutes we have found our first whales. 2 adult humpbacks going in no particular direction. As we drift down wind they join us to the delight of all those aboard. Andrew Halsall a friends, (structured work place learning student) Angie, found the difficulty in trying to photograph whales with a sigma 150 to 500 mm when the whales are swimming under the boat. Be warned you can take a lot of whale pictures, to get that good one. But it is so much easier now with digital than in the old days of film. I remember taking 2 rolls of 36 exposure and not getting 1 photo I thought was any good. We left these whales as they headed towards Marine Drive.
Finding 2 more adults at Seal Rock we once again enjoyed close interactions as the whales came close enough to us, so that when they exhaled, they covered passengers with their smelly breath.
Be warned children thats what happens if you dont clean your teath.
