    Paul was asleep 😴 when it was my colour group to go for a zodiac cruise near Davis Island.

    Last year when we were here it was foggy and another time the weather wasn't good either (so we didn't go) and zodiacs were called back to the ship when icebergs started to get uncomfortably close to the ship.

    This time the afternoon was mainly cloudy but it was a clear day with a few bits of blue sky between the clouds.

    We spotted a humpback whale and her calf so we watched them for a while. Another humpback whale was spotted on the surface - "logging"/sleeping on the surface.

    We eventually headed into an area to see a cave and a sea stack before going between icebergs. Some where spectacular.

    At some stage we met up with another zodiac that had crew and the Captain himself. They handed out champagne!

    Just as we got back to the ship another humpback whale was spotted. It eventually breached. Unfortunately I missed the action because my view was blocked by everyone else in the boat. It doesn't matter. Happiness is gained from seeing beautiful scenery and sights throughout the day and being in fresh air.
