It was well worth putting up with rough seas to find the whales today! There were feeding whales everywhere!! Where ever you looked there were whales kick feeding, open mouth feeding, and even a couple of breaches. It was difficult to get IDs with so much activity going on, but we did get some nice looks at Nile and her calf, and Follicle. Nile did a full breach so close to our boat you could almost feel the spray!! Two of the photos below are of a pair of whales (yet to be identified) feeding so close together-in synchrony. These humpbacks are HUGE animals (40-45 tons each), and are just so close together-talk about respecting each others personal space. And how was your day?
