Whale watching

We met up with our whale tour guide. We had 5 others on the boat with us, as tourists, plus the captain and his first mate. The captain was hard to hear but I've only got one ear working right now. My other one is clogged.

He gave us a few tidbits of information about things around the harbor but Erik and I could barely hear him. He took us straight out to the ocean and almost immediately we found some whales. At least two adult humpbacks and a calf! There was a larger ferry there with a ton of people on it. There was also a smaller motor boat that kept going very close to the whales. It was frustrating.

After watching the calf breach the water and the adults slap their fins for over an hour, we all opted to go hunting for whales elsewhere where there were less people. We didn't get as lucky, though. We saw some water spouts and breaching from far off but nothing as we came closer. It was still quite enjoyable. The weather was beautiful. I took a ton of video but can only upload a few minutes on here. The video was so hard to take because the sailboat was rocking side to side.

On the way back in we looked for seals but we didn't see any. We only mildly sailed, but we absolutely motored the whole time. So we motor sailed for a bit and motored the rest. Erik thought the captain was grumpy but I thought he was good. He and Erik were talking up a storm. Go figure, right?

Smom did see a nude guy at which point we found out there was a nude beach close by. 🫢Læs mere
