Saturday 12th June – Humpback Whales and Wintersun in Coolangatta

Well here we are half way through June and it’s cold as !!!  That southerly wind has a chill factor that goes through your bones – so we are rugging up out to sea and here in Coolangatta for this year’s Wintersun.  Last week we travelled to sea Sunday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and today, Saturday. 

The whales were playing hard to get last week, we travelled and travelled to find the odd whale, but we found them in the end.  The whales are a lot slower this year to come through, so hopefully that means we will have a longer season – who knows !!  We still have our 100% success rate in tack and that is great, there was a couple of trips there that we thought oh no !! we are going to miss them today but we found them hooray !!  Here are a couple of photo’s from Saturday and Thursdays trip.

We did not go out whale watching today, Sunday, too windy and rough.  This week the whales will be coming through in larger groups and we look forward to that.

This has been Carol ‘The Whale Women” until tomorrow
