Breaching Whales Suprise.

Once again strong winds are forecast but we don't seem to be getting to much as we leave the marina.

We have seen several blows over towards Limestone Head while sitting on Marine Drive earlier. As we get close to the line, we see a blow about 1 km away and heading around Bald Head.
As we head in that direction I see a breach off the port bow. I think that's the one, we will follow today.

We get closer and find 3 whales heading west. We follow around Bald Head and with the wind increasing a little, its better conditions in the le of the headland, as we travel along Flinders Peninsular.

Unexpectedly we have a whale breach, catching all the passengers off guard. No one gets a photo. All is quiet for about 20 minutes as we cruise along with the whales and then we get another breach. And the whales seam to have speed up. Then passengers count 4 whales as they surface for a breath. We follow for a while longer hoping that we will witness more breaching.

We are some distance from Bald Head now and have been with the whales for nearly 1 hour so we turn and head for the Bald Head Cove, where a colony of New Zealand Fur Seals reside. Our Kiwi passengers note that the seals are quite small compared to the seals in their home town who are a traffic hazard when they lay on the roads to keep warm on a winters day.
