This morning there were lots of whales out on the whale highway, heading south.There were 5 pods, made up of mothers and calves and a few escorts. Today the whales got in nice and close to say hello, with close encounters and some mugging of the boat. We also saw pectoral slaps, fluke up dives and some breaching!
As a bonus we spotted some dolphins and green turtles!
Now for the afternoon report! There were lots of whales out there again – we spotted 3 pods of mothers and calves and one pod of 2 adult whales. The first mother and calf came in for a close encounter, and treated passengers to a beautiful double breach! The calf in the second pod was very playful, breaching for us. The pod of 2 adult whales came in for some close encounters and did a few fluke up dives. The last mother and calf was very good at synchronised swimming. We also spotted another turtle! Or maybe it was the same one, and he just really liked the boat?
Sea conditions were calm all day today, with a bit of a breeze this afternoon.
