Finding whales was not the problem!!
Hi Everyone
Finding whales was not the problem – obeying the law…keeping 100 metres clearance zones was impossible! The whales wanted Albany’s human company. At Ellen Cove and Middleton Beach, human land-watchers were watched by whales…floating by…watching them!….interrupting curious glances while caressing their fellow whale companions with tails and flippers….sometimes breaching…seemingly just for fun…and as our boat lay inert…they’d drift over to ‘take a look’ before…more whale caressing, tail caressing, flipper fondling loveliness. Thirty mesmerized silent people on ‘Sail-A-Way’.
Above the whales, at the Mt Clarence lookout – our ‘whale lookout team’ was keeping count of the 15 Humpbacks and Southern Rights – directing the boat’s attention…warning us of yet another approaching whale. It was the hill watchers who guided us to the 3 Humpbacks breaching and breaching and breaching mid-Sound. Thank you to them…the whales…and the boat guests…who wrote these comments in our Guest Book.
Andy from Joondalup, WA: Totally breathtaking display of wild nature at its best. Fanatastic crew and all round experience.
Jane and Darryl Leaker, SA: We had a rare privilege today, not once but twice, we saw both Humpback and Southern Right whales putting on a glorious display. Thank you for allowing us to come back for a second trip today…and happy birthday, Anke.
Renae and James Stratton WA: Well, we definitely saw the ‘wild’ today as John would say! Southern Rights and Humpbacks alike. We met them all…showing us their bellies, fins and tails. I was totally lost for words watching their love dance with tears streaming down my face. Truly awesome!
There were many more eloquent expressions by appreciative passengers…see the Visitors Comments and Feedback tab on our website.
Cheers, John
