We experienced mixed weather today, from drizzle and chilly winds to moments of sunshine. In the morning we spent time with a calm humpback whale that came very close to the boat and fluked before diving. The afternoon tour brought playful humpback activity with breaches and flipper slaps, however the rest of the day was cancelled due to weather.
