Warning

Tour at 13:00

The weather forecast told us it might be quite windy out in the bay today so we warned the passengers however, once we were on the water and sailing the sea conditions were perfect, almost mirror calm. The rain also stayed off of us for most of the tour which was great. The Humpback Whale (Mr. Square i call him because of his square shaped dorsal fin) was so close to the coast today that we even saw Harbour Seals playing in the surf and Harbour Porpoises whilst we were watching the humpie. That wasn't even the best of it Mr. Square BREACHED out of the water just maybe 30 meters in front of us, there were absolutely no words for it. He only did this once in the tour so you have to be always prepared for these once in a life time experiences. We went looking for other species further out but they just weren't there today but, we were really happy with our sighting today. Excellent day.
