We find 1 lone very very quite whale at the channel markers with 20 plus dolphins but it blows and then dives and stays down, so we just continue over to Goode Beach as we have heard that several ways are heading in that direction.
We find 4 adult humpbacks off flat rock close to Whale-world. We follow until they get to Bald Head Cove and then we go to check on the seal colony. I have seen some more blows to the east and as we get close I see one of the blows is very small. The cow and calf are accompanied with another adult. From what I have learnt this whale will be a midwife. An adult cow that will help with the birth and may be with the protection of the calf as they all continue on their migration to warmer waters. They swim towards us then change directions several times, when they head south we leave them to go on their way. We did grab a couple of pictures just for the record.
