Another 30-ton mammal launching

These guys just amaze the pants right off of me! 30 tons of mammal, launching itself out of the ocean with only a couple flicks of it's fluke. Wow!

Momma first...



Baby giving it a try...

Great capture!

May I ask how you first became aware of the whale breaching? Did you see it first? Or hear it? Or did some of your fellow passengers tell you by speaking or pointing?

I ask because my experience is that usually I heard it first, and then find it, if I am lucky. Or sometimes my fellow passenger notified me. But usually I first became aware of it audibly, not visually, if it was within audible distance. Because it was either behind or way off to the side, rather than in front of me and my fellow passengers.

How many times did it breach? One, a few, or many? Too many to count?

Superb series. What an experience it must have been!
