let sleeping whales lie

The day after our iceberg trip we went back out to find the whales in Frederick Sound, but this time in a kayak. 


Those sealions again but a bit closer this time


Environmental Abu Hamza - Ralph picks up some floating polystyrene debris


Advanced maritime manoeuvres - We spotted a humpback whale before pulling into the cove and so wanted to get out in the kayaks quickly straight from the motorboat, rocking was not advised.


Chuffed at spotting some humpbacks.  There were two whales a mother and quite large youngster.  They sleep for about 20 minutes at a time, floating at the surface so they can breathe.
