David Attenborough looks at krill and humpbacks in the ocean.
Caroline and I went (
Humpback) whale watching with
Pro Dive yesterday..... We set off from
Darling Harbour and there were only 6 of us on board than we headed for
Manly to pick up a few others.
All in all there was only 12 of us on a boat that could fit 22. (Don't ask me how)
We had chosen a perfect day for it. It was a calm sunny day. There was quite a swell when we left
the Heads and turned towards
Bondi, but fortunately that didn't affect us at all. We had a pill each against seasickness, don't chew on them, they make your mouth go numb, Caroline discovered. When we sailed just south of
Coogee we joined 3 other boats who were tracking a mother and calf.
When we joined them all of the boats held their distance, although some boats got much closer than ours. As you might notice in some of the pictures the whales didn't swim that far from land.
And by looking at this photo we were happy not to have gone for one of the big boats.
