Some Days are Diamonds

Well at last, after some computer problems, now after recovery. I have been able to go through over 400 pictures taken of this young Humpback whale. We spent over an hour being entertained by this young whale. Two adult Humpbacks at one point swam past taking no notice of what was going on some several hundred metres from them as they passed by.

The season started off a little slow, but over the past 10 days we have enjoyed whales every day we have cruised. Last Saturday with stunning weather conditions we had 3 adult humpbacks swimming around us for about 30 minutes.

But not all days are diamonds.
We have had a couple of days when although we find several pods of young whales they just didn't want to interact or to be watched at all. Sunday 28th we find 5 Southern Right Whales at Breaksea Cove. This is the earliest in 18 years I have seen Southern Rights in King George Sound. May be this will be a big season for these whales.
