Our website has been down for a couple of weeks recently so i could not write as often as i wanted to. So here is just a couple of bits and pieces from around the boat over the last couple of weeks.
Dolphins are back
first of all i was wrong about the dolphins! We do get quite a few around the boat now, which is nice to see obviously. Im still waiting for the perfect dolphin shot this season just yet.
here is a couple that come close =)
I especially like the last one: you can see air bubbles trailing along the side of the dolphin as he enters the water
Southern Right Whales:
We had a couple of Southern Right Whale sightings this season. During our trips we usually encounter Humpback Whales, but every once in a while ( maybe 5-10 times a season ) we also encounter Southern Right Whales
The are by far not as active as Humpback Whales, but stay on the surface for quite a bit. So it is even more special to see those guys jumping out of the water. And guess what happened to us? right! Jumping Southern Right Whales!
Last Year we had Southern Right Whales Jumping inside the Harbour, so i guess we are not doing to bad with the SRWs. If you are from Sydney you might remember the newspapers: They have been "playing" with surfers around Bondi / Tamarama.
What else?
Sometimes people on the boat approach me asking if im the one who is writing the blog here, so there must be people actually reading all of this =) If you are one of those people and planning to come out on the boat, just let me know or leave a comment here! its nice to get some feedback.
There also will be a couple of guest writers on this blog very shortly ( just putting pressure on those people now =)
Alex who is driving Totally Wild , our small and fast boat, is keen to share his experience with us, something i cant tell you much about, because im usually on the big boat ( exept once, when i went out on it to get shots of OD II with whales in the foreground. i should actually write about that as well, because it went just awesomly well! )
