Whales...
Ok, finally well rested enough to post some of the whale photos from last Friday.. It was really an amazing sight - praise the Lord for His wonderful creations! I actually held my breath when the 1st whale appeared and exhaled. And I screamed when they started to jump and flip. We spent almost 6 hours out at sea spotting them.... it was an
Our skipper Frederick ( handsome, I might add)told us that male whales perform tricks like jump, flip, spray water etc etc to attract females to mate ( hmm.... so all males are alike ha ha ). And they're fast becoming extinct, only 25 baby whales are born a year around the world. Tell your Japanese friends to stop eating them!!! From July-Sept, they swim from the Antartic to New Cal, Aust & NZ to mate and give birth. A grown whale is 30 tons and abt 15m long. Newborns are abt 600kg.
here you go:
What a sight huh???
Here's us on the catamaran..
With Grandma , who was always looking for shelter on the boat ( DUH??!!!)... and half the time, scared that the whale would capsize us, seeing how it is true that a whale is bigger than our entire catamaran. And en route to the jetty, the drive scared her too cos we had to go up and down and round mountains. Sigh, my mummy is really getting old..:)
Here's Moi, having a spot of fun and entertaining everyone else....
Finally, a photo with hubby. We just realised we haven't taken a photo that's just us for a long long time sinc Josh was born.
Definitely going to see them again next year!
