Whale Season

 

We are reaching the end of the Southern Migration, so by the end of October, the whales should all be back in Antarctica for another year. 

They swim North to calf from May and back September/October to feed, living on the Antarctic krill.

Prompted by the huge show we got from North Head, I booked a whale watching trip on the weekend. The morning boat was booked out so we went in the afternoon. 

There were whales doing full body breaches on the horizon (I could just see the huge splashes) but we had up close encounters instead. Because they were swimming under the boat and popping up either side, we had to wait until the left to start the engines.

We went on the Fantasea 2 hour cruise and if you're an NRMA member, you get a discount, however, we've done it with all of them over the year and I find them all much the same. But definitely worth doing!

If you haven't been, it really is the most wonderful thing to do. We are so lucky to live on the Humpback Highway.

This would have been the best shot - three whales (one fluke). Alas blurry....

And this shot you can see the tail, the fluke, but it's under water.
