We were woke slightly earlier than planned this morning but could tell by the excitement in the voice of our expedition leader Cindy Manning that it was something worth getting up for. A group between eight to ten humpback whales were bubble-net feeding right off our bow! After watching the whales go through several rounds of bursting through the sea surface, it was time for both them, and us, to make our way to enjoy the rest of our day. For us, it was seeking shelter from an approaching storm. For the whales, who knows where, who knows when? But we hope we’ll meet again some sunny day.
