Humpback whales

Sunday, December 21st, 2008

All whales are worth watching but humpbacks are really exciting for they get very close to your boat and leap out of the water from time to time.















I found the leaping bit very hard to catch given the shutter lag on my digital camera. So here you get two swimming alongside the boat and one leaping on Christmas Eve. Typical weight is around 37 tons so you are watching a big truck.
