Well it was a little overcast, but we have very light winds. The round the streets car race in Albany is playing havoc with people trying to get around the road detours. We leave the marina a little late so step up the pace a little. Heading out towards Limestone Head I spot a faint blow, reducing revs as I am not sure which way the whales are travelling. They are quiet so we knock the motors out of gear and then Eve spots a blow back towards town. We idle back to where the whales were last seen and I hear a blow behind us. Looking off the stern the whales are swimming towards us. Once again I take the engines out of gear and we drift as the whales swim up close to the joy of some of our Indian passengers. The whales are quiet and they swim around us and then off toward the headland. We follow them until they head around Bald Head. We head in toward some New Zealand Fur Seals and then cruise along the coast towards home. Even being overcast passengers comment on the beautiful colours of the water, we do live in a pretty place.
