This Sunday, after 2 great dives on the west side, we were cruzin back the harbor when the Capt quickly cut the engines and announced "Breaching whale ahead!"
I was quick with the camera to catch a baby Humpback whale breach and fin slap about 75 yrds off the bow. Hard to zoom from a boat deck, where's my steady cam!!
Just when we thought the show was over, the baby surfaced and swam right up to the boat and splashed a bit.
At that time the "Momma Humpback" must have decided that Jr. was too close to the boat for her comfort and proceeded to swim up from below and nose the baby away, and with a splash of the tail, the baby and mom were gone!
I got most of it on tape although some spots are shaky. You can see the shadow of the mom as she lifts up the baby right next to the boat.
The whale song was added to the music for your enjoyment
Thanks to Capt Randy and Capt Bruce's Scuba Charters for the opportunity to see this!
