Aloha and welcome aboard!
We had a good show today. After leaving Keauhou Bay, we ran north towards the Lek. There we encountered quite a few Humpback Whales (Megaptera novaeangliae). We also saw a large pod of Hawaiian Spinner Dolphins (Stenella longirostris). Today's numbers were as follows: 25 Humpback Whales, 11 Breaches, 2 Heart-runs, 4 Tail-lobs, and 2 cow-calf-escort groups. While watching whale surface activity, we deployed the hydro-phone, and heard numerous males singing. As I've said before, the trips are only going to get better now that the whales are here in large numbers. Come join us for an afternoon of exciting whale action, till then...Aloha.
