Here come the adults.
Overcast conditions and no wind great us this morning although stronger winds are forecast.
We head out and Bernie tells us he has seen a quiet whale at the safe water marker. We cant find it so don't waste too much time in the area. We continue deep as he has also seen blows on the line. (The line between Breaksea Island and Bald Head)
We enjoy morning tea n the way and its not long after we see a blow further south. Its about 3654 km to Antarctica from Albany and I joke that its now only 3640 km now and hope people have packed an extra jacket. We find 2 adults that are cruising west and cruise along with them. We see a breach a good 1km south west of the pair we are tracking and 20 minutes latter we have a breach 2 km behind us.
We are now in the lea of the coast and this has given us calmer conditions and we cruise slowly with our whales. I am looking away scanning the area and there is a scream of WOW, I look back at where our whales should be to see a large area of white water. The obvious result of a 40 tonne humpback whale landing after launching its self from the water.
We follow for a little longer then head to the seals at Bald Head Cove. Then it back into King George Sound and we find 15- 20 Common Dolphins just to top off the cruise.
