A Whale of a Tale


We had a holiday on Thursday and we were lucky enough to get the company boat. We invited some friends to come along and we had a very successful day. John and I spent most of the time on the upper part of the boat. (great view, but lots more motion)
While the rest preferred staying on the front.
The humpback whales come to Angola to feed. And that became pretty obvious as we were following this pod around
They would come up in front of us and then behind us and then in front again. All the while rocking the boat.
They were not in a show off mood, though one of them slightly breached I missed it while I was getting Gwenny her sandwich!
What beautiful creatures they are, it was very uplifting to be so close to them.
