Humpback Whales off Coolangatta June 28th Australia Gold Coast Queensland

Since I last wrote we have had bad weather, big seas and plenty of rain, this has sent the whales way out to sea, they don’t like the bad weather – neither do I !!!  I first trip after the 20th was the 24th, we had a reasonable swell and plenty of whales on their own again.  Whales breaching out wide.

Thursday 25th fantastic day out around 6 pods today, we had double breaching and they came reasonably close to the boat – great day out.

Friday 26th o overcast conditions plenty of whales, more lone whales and he/she came to the boat for a bit of a look, swam under and around us – very exciting !!   Plenty of whales out and about but not near us, but a great day out.

Saturday 27th calm day a bit of cloud cover we found another lone whale today, so many whales on their own this year, not normal at all.

Sunday 28th – whales all asleep this morning, more lone whales just swiming along.  We are feeling that this past week we have been seeing a lot of juveniles who haven’t quite made the grade yet and are still “loners” mind you they are solatury mammals, but not this many!!!!

This afternoon, we found another lone whale happily breaching his little body all afternoon, he was obviously trying to attract some company – without success – he was a true delight to see, as he breached for the entire trip – how lucky were we!!!

The season has been slower than last year, with plenty of lone whales and not as many – BUT – we have word that they are ON THEIR WAY – the word is there’s heaps on their way up and so is MIGALOO – WE EXPECT TO SEE HIM THIS WEEK – can’t wait – if we see him this week we will be so excited – he is a STAR !!!

This has been a very excited Whale Women – until next time !!!
