Day 263 and 264 - 20th & 21st September 2015 - Whale Watching

So last Sunday my computer crashed with all my photos, anyway thanks to a great technician, I'm back in business with a new laptop and all my photos retrieved! So here's our trip from last weekend. 
Had a very foggy drive to the Island, made good time with a few pit stops along the way. Luck was with us and the fog cleared around noon, so Dorothy and I were able to go whale watching with the Freeport Whale and Seabird Birds Tours aboard the Georgie Porgie. It was a great trip - saw a number of whales but not many birds. A couple of whales even came right along side the boat.

 The Georgie Porgie! Great boat, Captain and Tour Guide.

Phalaropes. It's hard to take photos of little birds bobbing in the water while you are on a moving boat.

 Gull.

 Gull with a zodiac full of whale watchers.

 Whale Fin.

 Love watching them bring up their tails then splash them back down.

 I'm not quite sure what this is.

When you see this green color in the water, it means there is a Whale there. Pretty cool as it was next to the boat a couple of times.

 Little action - big bodies!

 And the tail goes back down.

Another Gull - most appeared to be immature.

They are covered in barnacles.

It was so hard to catch their spray, but finally have a number of tries I did.

And we got a show of his belly.

 This might have been a Whale named Sockeye, but I'm not 100% sure.

Greater Shearwater.

So that was our Whale watching trip - a great time. If you haven't booked and gone - put it on your bucket list - it's great fun!






Enjoy your day!
