Friday, April 25th, 2025

14:00 - This afternoon we sailed out to the bay searching for whales and dolphins! There was a bit of swell but the weather was still nice for a day at sea. We started by sailing North and just after 20 minutes we sighted our first species- a minke whale! We saw the whale for a few minutes before we decided to continue our journey. We sailed for a bit more before hearing the news that a humpback whale was close by, so we decided to have a look! We got closer and we saw it dive down into the deep. Unfortunately time was running out and we needed to get back to the harbour so we said goodbye to the humpback and started our journey home.
