They’re back

A Humpback Whale dives in the waters off Hawaii

The Humpback Whale season here has been underway for a few weeks, but I hadn’t seen many until a few days ago. Then, on one of my coast walks, I saw half a dozen or more.

This whale was in the company of another one, which had dived just before this. I like the curve of the tail and how the water drains off it, just before it’s full submerged.

      I’ve worked out a way to improve my chances. It involves looking through the camera viewfinder with one eye while keeping the other scanning the ocean. It actually works pretty well.

      Some of their activities just leave me shaking my head. How do they manage to leap out of the water, or slap their tails 15 or 20 times in a row? It’s amazing to see.

          That doesn’t sound good. Here, they guarantee a sighting or you can go again for nothing. Mind you, if you see a blow or a back I think that’s considered good enough.
