An exciting day

The day started with a yellow fin tuna being landed on the fishing line, and Josef having to work hard to bring it in.
Look what I've got!
Then a good dive at Blue Pearl Bay with some great things to see.

Whales whales and more whales

Wow what a week. We have seen whales just outside Blue Pearl Bay a couple of days ago. Yesterday we saw whales as we were heading towards Langford Island. Today we saw them on the way over to Hayman Island and on the way back to Abel Point Marina! Amazing creatures. One of the whales today had a large pod of dolphins playing around it! Wow!

First whale seen today!!!

Yippee. We saw a whale today. The first one of the season.
We now have a hydrophone on board and it was awesome to be able to hear the whale clicking!

We have been doing lots of intro diving at Blue Pearl over the last week. The viz is getting better as the weather settles down!
