Whales off Kawaihae

[acooper]

My first Humpback sighting of the season, a full breach 200yds off the bow of the dive boat!

There was a commotion on the bow and someone said whales. Just as I joined the crowd foreward the whale came out of the water for a classic breach! What a way to start whale season.

A trio of two large and one likely yearling about two miles north of Kawaihae. Looking forward to whale song on winter dives.

We had two shadow the boat on Saturday too! No ariels but it is a great sign that winter is here.....

Heard some faint calls when we splashed off the Back Wall last Tuesday, but nothing after that. I'd have written it off as my imagination, but the DM also heard it. It wasn't much, but it was a great way to start the dive.

Saw one yesterday off waia'nae. Only caught sight of the tail slapping the water...turned around too late. A good sign!
