What A Differance a Day Makes.

A quiet day today. Beautifully calm and we could see dolphins all over King George Sound. 

We could see that the Southern Right Whales had left Middleton Beach but heard that at 0900 hours at least 1 Humpback had been seen close to Seal Rock. 

We stop off on the way to enjoy some dolphins swimming at the bow. We cruise past Seal Rock and don't see any whales and Peter Bell at Whale World tells us he has not seen any sign this morning. 

We head towards Bald head and Jason spots a blow some 2km away. We head it that direction and this whale is being hard to find. 

But with 16 years experience finding whales I have learnt a thing or two. Although some times I do get more than a little frustrated. Knowing a whale is close and being able to show passengers a whale are two different things. Well we find the whale and its the same whale that spent 90 minutes swimming around us yesterday. 

Not today though it takes several breaths and dives. We watch it for a while but he is not playing the game today. We head off to Breaksea Island cruise past the seals then on to Nanarup Beach, and back towards the harbour. 

And we now know the Southern Rights have left the area.
