Looking out from our wharf towards the open sea, westward toward .. Australia? |
Our first whale of this trip. I have a lot of pictures of these gray lumps. |
Here we are looking off the back of the boat towards the Isle of Lanai, where we were supposed to find dolphins and didn't. |
Duncan discovers that snorkeling with sea turtles is thirsty work. |
The Whale-Road! |
Off the Port Stern! A mama Whale! |
On the other side of the boat, her calf. It is at this point that we realize we're being held hostage: The boat must turn its engine off if it is within 100 yards of a whale. We're trapped between these two for about 45 minutes. |
Duncan gets another shot of the mama whale, this time waving to us, and his Mom with a Coke. |
This is a zoom shot of the whale in the previous picture. Honest, it's a flipper. |
The baby clearly likes boats. Note the relative sizes of the week-old baby and the catamaran... |
Another whale, one of the outriders for Mama and Baby, comes in from the east to investigate us. |
Honest. this is another bird, this time on the sidewalk. |
