Migaloo’s Magic on the Gold Coast Wednesday July 1st 2009
Migaloo “Big White Fella” has touched our souls today. At approximately 9.45am we were spending time with this amazing mammal just off Burleigh Heads. Migaloo travelled north with two mates and plenty of other humpbacks around 500 meters around him. 46 lucky passengers aboard our boat this morning were lucky enough to see Migaloo and thanks to Mal from Fingal Charters who passed on the information so that we could also enjoy his company.
He was AWESOME – MAGIC – FANTASTIC – UNBELIEVEABLE – I was so excited and I was jumping all over the deck with glee – everyone on board was excited too and we just couldn’t believe our luck in finding him. We first thought he might have snuck past in the dead of night, but no, he was out about 10 miles happily swiming north to the Whitsundays where he will frolick with lots and lots of lucky females during the mating season.
This is the first time he has been seen off the coast since 2005. We were lucky enough to see him off Port Macquarie on the 13th June 2005 and no one has seen him since and now here he is again and how lucky were we? Dan Howard was onboard this morning with his camera, he will post photo’s during the course of the day, take a look, Migaloo is truly magnificant and so white, he’s a beautiful sight indeed.
This has been Carol “the whale women”
PS we have been seeing lots of other magnificant whales every day too, it has been a super season and it’s just got a whole heap better, see you out whale watching with us off Coolangatta – cause we’re simply the best and you will have an absolute ball with us !!
