Whale Watching Batch Two

A pretty good tail shot of a humpback getting ready to dive deep.


A second later...


This is a side fin or flipper, as this humpback is actually rolling over sideways! Another first for me to see. It looked like the whale was waving at us.


At least two whales here. This group of whales was quite large, and very uninhibited by our boat's presence. We got close enough at one point to smell whale breath, which smells rotten, and unpleasant.


There are three whales in this photo.

Two humpback whales.


A humpback going for "a sound" which is a deep dive, so the tail comes out of the water sometimes. Fun to see.


A whale spout!


Breaching! Incredible to experience. I saw two breaches, and got one captured in a photo!


Another tail shot.

Dolphin Pics

I love dolphins, and see them often. When out on a big boat, the dolphins rush up the boat and soar out of the water and ride the wake. Sometimes there are dophins literally everywhere you look. On this day I'm sure there were over 3000 dolphins that were around our boat for the entire afternoon. They are just so fun to see! There were also a few seals that mingle with the dolphins.
