UNSEEN footage … take a moment to enjoy the magic! Listen to our squeals of excitement as these adolescent whales played around the boat, watch them dive, surface, tail and flipper flip; nudge our boat and even wink!

a "LIKE', thumbs up helps spread the love! thanks

Look out for that whale ‘footprint’ the circular imprint from their tail swoosh. When the whale blows out that hole on her head it is their snot … some children were a bit disgusted when the snot blew back over us so I called it a ‘blessing’. I’m told that that snot and the tail are like a whale’s ‘fingerprints’, particular to each individual whale.

The school children’s comments were “I want to pat him”, “we are friends”, “thanks, good bye, any day”. One whale actually paused for some minutes right on the back of the boat where most of the children were … just watching them, totally fascinated. Another rocked the boat for a while, then again as he left. They do have the size and strength to flip us if they wished …

It’s whale season again and I’m seeing loads swim north up the coast to their breeding grounds; a nice holiday from the cold Atlantic Ocean. This film is a mixture of the actual recorded sound plus some ambient music … which echoes the atmosphere we enjoyed so much on this sunny calm day.

I can’t describe the peace and tranquility that these gracious giants bless us with on each encounter.
