So this was the perfect whale watch , or as good as it gets . Large boat , with a 149 people and your friendly photographer. I was early, so I sat myself down on a nice bench with table. All to myself. nearly 3/4 of all the passengers went upstairs so they can look down upon the whales I guess. I had a coffee, egg sandwich and an empty cabin. The trip out was about an hour and calm seas passing a myriad of lighthouses of all make and size. maybe I took a few too many photos of them . Ah who cares. so we started with a few small Minky whales , then a group of 5 fin whales, about 60 tons and over 70 feet long very impressive spouts and back fins. Then it was out lucky day and we were surrounded by at least 50-70 white belly dolphins, very fast they catapulted themselves thru the water in front besides and behind the boat. They were everywhere, awesome site. Then to finish it off one old but very much alive Humpback whale , they are the showstopper with their tail coming out of the salt water dripping like a thirsty shower, four breaths and the tail again. beautiful. When the Captain gave the last one sign, before turning around to port , people burst into a spontaneous applause..
Here are the visuals, movie time in the Lady!
