The early morning of our 5th trip to the Great South Channel in
four years started in fog and remained foggy with limited visibility throughout
much of the morning. This did not hamper our ability to find humpback
whales. Based upon our sightings in previous years, we decided upon a
search area and were with our first group of whales by 7:15 AM. Our day
began with a trio, Echo and her 4th calf being escorted by Tectonic. Our
whale sightings for the day ended hours later as a minke whale breached 27
times. Our second day was as rewarding as the first. Look below for
the ID's and some images of the 30 humpbacks we encountered, including 6
cow/calf pairs.
