Whale Watching this week 5th August 08

This week has seen plenty of action on the Gold Coast from our fabulous Humpback Whales, we are nearing the end of the Northern migration but that hasn’t slowed up the pods coming through.  We are now starting to see the Gentle Giants of the Sea heading back to the Antarctic, whilst there is still plenty of whales  heading North.

Over the last three days we have had some of the best whale watching this season with our first new borne  of the season on Monday with mum coming to the boat with her calf, she proudly showed off her calf, she was jumping for joy as we think her little calf was only days old – yes borne here on the Tweed Coast this week!!! 

On Sunday we had two adult humpbacks very curious indeed, spy hoping the boat several times only meters away, having a good look at us – needles to say the boat was alive with screams of joy that day and today a very special whale lazing around on it’s back, pectrol fin slapping, tale lobbing and breaching in the calm waters off Coolangatta not in any hurry to go north – absolutley fabulous stuff. 

Keep an eye on this page, I will update daily.  The weather has been sensational, with calm sea conditions and light winds still a little cool but mostly warm and sunny – PERFECT WHALE WATCHING CONDITIONS

Cheers for now
