Lately there has been a trio of humpback whales that like to hang out together, well I finally got a picture with all three in the shot! They rarely all surface at the same time. It is cool to see and hear them communicate, not via any singing as you'd expect, they would fluke slap and trumpet at the surface if they were up alone. I don't know if this kind of strong friendship bond has been documented in humpbacks but here it some serious proof it exists.
What was also entertaining is that the dolphins took great pleasure in harassing the whales, if the dolphins were bored of playing with our boat they would happily go swim all around the whales and even jump over them. The whales hate this and make it known.
