Pilot Whale - Hawaii 2012 |
Whale in Front - Hawaii 2012 |
Hali and Mike got up early in the morning and headed south
to a small harbor just outside of Hilo
for a whale-watching excursion. Along with several other people they clambered
aboard Cap'n Dan's trusty vessel.
As the boat left the harbor, it immediately met the waves of
the open sea. After a moment of unease, Mike realized that he was going to be
OK and settled in to wait for pix opportunities (also, he had thoughtfully
taken a Bonine upon rising.)
It was getting towards the end of the humpback whale season,
and in fact no humpback whales were sighted. But they did come across several
pilot whales! Very difficult to frame the photos using the EPL-1's LCD screen,
but Mike did his best.

I like being able to see the whales from the boat deck. Thanks.
Is that a great white off to the right in the top of the second picture? :)
No. Just a wee 'lil boat thumbtacked onto the horizon.
