Aloha and Welcome aboard,
Up on the “Lek” we were greeted by many small pods - we saw a total of 15 Humpback Whales (Megaptera Novaeangliae). We witnessed 3 breaches by a Humpback on the horizon, then a calf breached 4 times fairly close to the boat. After traveling North a bit more we encountered a very large pod of Pilot Whales (Globicephala Macrorhynchus). They were swimming South, so we watched for a while and then we were surrounded by the Humpbacks - our friends “Hula” and “Kai” showed up again, and it was good to see them. It truly is amazing how they recognize our boat, and by their behavior and markings we recognized them. We observed them for more than 30 minutes, then we had to begin heading back towards our home port. What a beautiful pair of whales - I hope we see them again before the season's over! We also had a whale do 5 pectoral slaps and we saw 4 different “Heat Runs”. Well that's all for now, Aloha...Jonathan | email Jonathan |
