Aloha and welcome aboard!
Since we started this season's whale cruises, we've had some really good shows. Today was by far the best one yet! Once we cruised up the coast and were in position on the "lek", we had a calf breach, then mom, and then the calf breached 4 more times. Then the escort that was with her began lunging, he was huge and made big splashes when he landed. We were so close you could see lots of detail on the whales. Things like the sun glistening off their backs, the counter shading of their body markings, and even a perfect fluke shot. All of this may seem like a daily occurrence, two months from now it probably will be, but to see this much activity this early in the season was truly awesome! I would be remiss in my efforts as an educator, if I didn't take the time to say none of this would be possible without an outstanding crew! I've been on boats in every corner of the globe and I know that we have by far one of, if not the best, Captain that I've ever had the pleasure of working with! When you come out on a whale watch I'll personally introduce you to Captain Mitch, and the rest of the crew. Brion, he's our eagle eyes; Ivan, he’s right there when you need him; and our resident Aussie, Samantha, there are no words to describe how much she means to all of us. But don't take my word for it, come see for yourself....you'll be amazed and glad you picked Fair Wind for your whale watching adventure. We and the whales will be looking for you....till then, Aloha.
