Whales Close to Marine Drive Lookout


All is well with "Silver Star II" 

Today we head out of Princess Royal Harbour and find whales just out side before the first channel markers. We find 2 whales rolling around 1 quit a bit smaller that the other. We also spotted 1 whale heading back towards the harbour. And another out at the last channel markers. We stick with the pair. After about 30 min we had 3 whales in the pod. Hard to say where the 3rd came from. They head towards Middleton Beach at times coming over close to have a look at us. Several dingies anchored fishing get a good look too and then the whales start to head east. 

We also spot a couple of whales out deeper but head south to round Mistaken Island and cruise along Goode Beach as we have a couple on board who wish to see if they can see their house from the water. We find a large pod of Bottle-nose Dolphins and spend some trying to get a good picture as they jump from the water in our wake. 

A casual cruise along Goode beach and between the mainland and Mistaken Island past Fisheries Beach, Outer Brambles and back past the wharf to our pen, ends a very relaxing morning on the water.
