Daily diary – December 22 2024

The waves were a little bit bigger today further out so we went around the islands after venturing out north. Along the way we saw harbour porpoises swimming and could see their triangular dorsal fin as they swam around. They only surfaced a few times, so we continued on. We eventually came across the pair of humpback whales. At first they were swimming long distances but eventually started swimming right next to us and under the bow! We then wanted to see the individual humpback whale and it ended up being right in front of us. As we watched it for a bit, we then saw some harbour and grey seals bottling in the water before we headed back.
