A stunning day at sea today- beautiful weather and sea conditions. The first two whales we came across were very friendly indeed, we had a few close encounters much to the delight of our guests! The two large, adult whales swam gracefully south. A close encounter showed some interesting battle scars (perhaps caused by an outboard motor). One of the whales had lost it’s whole Dorsal fin. Nearby we came across a mother and calf swimming amongst some other boats and ventured over for a look. With a reasonably young mother and small the mother was quite protective of her young.
