Seven nice humpback sightings on a picture perfect day.

Captain Eddy and the crew ran south as far as The Lanes across mirror glassy water. Skies were sunny and bright. Totals for the day: 7 humpback whales and 400 common dolphins.

 

On our way out, just before The Kelp Farm, we watched a very small pod of 15 dolphins for a short time, then continued on our way. Southwest of The Farm we watched our first humpback whales: a pair of sub-adults. The became friendly and spent a short time very close to us. They also enjoyed the bubble bath of our jet wash.  A single whale was nearby and we observed it kelping for 15 minutes.

 

Moving west, two more sub-adult whales were encountered. They made a few close passes before one of them breached 5 times close by. (See today’s photo for an example).

 

To the south we saw a larger herd of dolphins, perhaps 400, then watched another pair of whales.

 

You never know what Mother Nature has in store.
