Humpback Cow & Calf

As we leave Princess Royal Harbour Bernie tells us that several blows have been seen at Limestone Head. We catch up with said whales as they head around bald head. As we get closer I notice that we have found 2 adult whales and a new born calf. Research tells us that their is a good chance the second whale could be a mid-wife to the cow. We followed these whales for some time. We then turned and headed east, finding several more pods of whales heading towards us. We follow them for a while and then see blows back towards King George Sound. We find a young whale and as we follow it, it breaches close to the boat. Only one passenger caught it though as he shot 10 frames a second in the direction of the screams from excited passengers. Just goes to show how lucky you can be, if ready at all times, with that camera while on a Whale Watching Cruises.
