Whale Watching

 We got up early one morning to go whale watching. This was probably my favourite thing we did! Gibb wasn't feeling good so he stayed home with Keira. He had gone out scuba diving a couple times and spear fishing, so he wasn't feeling up to another morning on a boat.

We saw tons of whales this morning

Within the first 20 minutes we saw 2 whales jump and 2 whales breech!

  

Kepler was just so happy to be on a boat

 

The boats are not allowed to go close to the whales unless a whale swims up to you. So we stopped for a while and there were a few whales all around us. Then a whale swam right under our boat! We were sitting right up front and it was close enough to reach out and touch it! Then it sprayed it's blowhole about 10 feet away from us and splashed us with it's tail, and kept splashing it's tail a few times as it swam away. It was incredible!

 

I had put away my camera at that point (of course), so I didn't get any really good pictures, but I did catch part of Jayna's reaction. :)
