It's a whale-a-thon!

Over the last week or two there has been an incredible increase in the amount of whales in the bay, and today was the pinnacle of that peak (so far). I am unsure of the exact number of individual whales we saw today but it is around 8-10, and they were all concentrated in a very small area. Plus the first minke whale sighted in weeks and weeks! It was an insane trip, there was barely a minute that went by without another whale being sighted somewhere nearby. We were constantly on the move but we barely moved at all!

The weather is due to seriously deteriorate tomorrow and possibly over the next few days, so the chances of the boats going out are not looking the best.

New snow all over Skalfandi Bay! We could be getting snow in town over the weekend.

This cormorant loved sitting in the harbour.

And was there for a long time.

This is the huge fluke of Hector.

This whale (named Hector) is bloody huge! Definitely the biggest humpback I've seen, and his blow is just as impressive. Even from under water it makes a huge splash.

The humpback with the patchy dorsal fin is Hector again

Minke! We've missed your elusive presence!

This whale (we just named this second) is called Little Ajax.

This whale is called Messy.
