Today I got to hang out with two wonderful humpback whales, BCX1193 “Zig Zag” and her calf.
The seas were fairly big, which made some moments with these huge animals seem like they weren’t even there, only their exhales marking their presence, as they surfaced between the waves in the troughs and not the crests.
We also had moments of pure jaw dropping awe and wonder as Zig Zag’s calf breached three times in a row, in a different perspective and style each time.
For the last breach sequence, the young whale had even moved off from us in such a way that put us in perfect position to witness the water spray coming off its body fracture into a stunning rainbow spray!
