WHALE WATCHING.... AGAIN AND AGAIN!

The superb team from Iceberg quest has allowed me to go out on another two whale trips. Although the whale sightings have dimished since the massive spectacular that we witnessed the other day - neither cruise was without some great whale sightings - a big 60ft fin whale swimming right past us. On the last cruise we spotted some fin and minky whales. The second cruise was great for humpbacks breaching although the heavy misty rain repeatedly made the camera lens useless and some great shots were ruined by water on the lens

Boom! Whale breaching very close to the shore! This looks like the humpback we saw during the first cruise
