Aloha and welcome aboard!
Today's trip was a challenge, the waves were surging which makes it difficult to find whales. After arriving on the Lek, we found lots of Humpback Whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) and the first encounter was a thunderous breach fairly close to the boat. We were hoping to get more sightings from this whale, but it had other intentions. After watching it 'sound', we headed farther north to find more cetaceans. Here are today's totals: 20 Humpback Whales, 12 Breaches, 6 Spy-hops, 3 Pec-slaps, 1 Heat-run (1 Female/4 Males), 5 Lunges, 1 Cow-Calf-Escort, 1 Close Encounter (Breach), and 2 Pods of Nai'a (Hawaiian Spinner Dolphins, Stenella longirostris). It's hard to believe this month is almost over and we're scheduled to run through the end of March, so don’t delay. We on the Hula Kai would love to take you on the adventure of a lifetime! Till then...Aloha.
