Whale watching

Anne Coffey, Peter Smithard, and ourselves left Marriot hotel Brisbane, with bus Saturday morning for a day at sea watching for whales.

It turned out to be a spectacular day!
The whales took a close look at us and waved back when we waved at them. Whales live in "pods" of 3 to about6 whales. The pod does not necessarily consist of family member whales, but can be group of friends of whales.

We could barely believe how friendly they where and how much they appreciated our company. They would play by swimming under our boat back & forth, wave at us and race with the boat.

Some of the whales had a lot of old scratches from previous fights with rivals and Killer whales.

One of the whales decided to give us a shower. Whale showers do not smell as nice as they look...
