Clear skies and a light breeze from the north greet us when we arrive at the boat.
We head out towards Limestone Head and Helen one of our passengers thinks that she has seen a blow over towards Seal Rock. I slow the boat and within a few minutes we spot 2 blows.
With-in a few minutes of us following this pair of adult humpbacks, one throws its self out of the water backwards. The whales then continue the journey over towards Middleton Beach. At one point swimming up to the side of a ship that is at anchor in King George Sound much to the surprise of the ships crew.
Peter Bell from Whale-world phoned to let me know that he had 2 whales, just several hundred metres off whale world, that were slapping their tails on the surface. But there was no need to leave these guys as at times they would get curious and come over to check us out.
We follow the whales until they arrive off Marine Drive and we can hear screams coming from a group of children standing at one of the lookouts. The whales cruise around not quite sure which way to go. Now quite a few people have gathered at the APEX lookout on Marine Drive. When the whales enter and then leave the channel entrance we leave and head back to the marina.
Beautiful weather and a very relaxing cruise.
