Whale Watching
At the weekend Lisa suggested that we take a Whale Watching trip out from Oceanside Harbor which is just over a mile down the road from our home.
Oceanside Adventures appeared to be a good choice, so we got tickets for 12:00 Monday.
…..if you can call 3-4 miles off the coast the open sea😆
We were not really confident that we would see any whales after listening to some of our fellow passengers at the dock. So we were pleasantly surprised when this happened (press to play).
We came across a Pod of Humpback Whales, firstly a mother and her calf. She was accompanied by four male suitors. None of four males were necessarily the father. Apparently, the four fellas were jockeying for the position of becoming a father next year.
I like to think that the noise in the last video was whale-speak for “Bugger off and leave us alone”
Right before we docked, we saw a Seal tussling with a Sea Gull.
It was a great day and we felt privileged to see the Pod (or Gam) of Whales. Our captain told us that only 1% of people get to see Whales in the wild.
