Aloha and welcome aboard!
Today was yet another awesome whale watch. We're seeing lots of Humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) and even more surface displays. The highlight of today's trip were the breaches, we had one that was practically right next to the boat. We're also starting to see more cows and calves...now that we're midway through the season, but then that's normal behavior for this time of year on the Lek. In fact the cow-calf-escort trios will probably be the most prolific groups, next to the heat-runs, that we're likely to see. Today's numbers were as follows: 22 Humpback whales, 10 Breaches, 2 Heat-runs, 2 Cow-calf-escort trios, 1 Close encounter (massive breach). We didn't see the Nai'a today and we couldn't deploy the hydro-phone because of the waves, but if you could have seen the faces of everyone that was on-board as they disembarked, you'd know how wonderful and spectacular today's trip was. Come join us and see for yourself....till then...Aloha.
