11th October, Friday afternoon whale watching

This afternoon we were glad to be out on the water after the winds kept us from getting out to whale watch this morning. There was a breeze blowing and a bit of a swell, but it didn’t spoil the whales enthusiasm. We spent most of the trip with a lovely mother and her calf. Mum was logging along with fluke up dives fairly close to the boat while the calf showed off with a couple of breaches and pectoral waves. The calves are always fun to watch and this little guy didn’t disappoint, rolling over onto its back and waving to us!
