Watching whales

Thursday, February 12th, 2015

As I've mentioned, there are some pretty good whale watching from the deck of our rental house. Every morning we can see them spouting and the occasional tale flap. I didn't really see a need to go on a boat to see the whales, but thats what we did today.

For two and half hours we were on the boat, floating around looking for whales. We had another radio voice guy but this time he was the captain, I think. He told us all about the humpback whale, how much they weigh, how far they travel, how much they eat, what the proper whale watching protocol is... pretty much everything you'd want to know. I don't have the best sea legs in the world and Lucas didn't have the best patience in the world. The combination made for not such a fun time. We did get to see the whales up close and you really got a feel for how large these animals are so it was nice to see... once. And since the captain told us that we picked THE BEST DAY to come out (many times), I figure there's no need to go out again.

One couple had just moved to Hawaii, to live there permanently. Can't imagine living in a tropical paradise. Where would you go for vacation? Manitoba? Go for a ski trip? I asked the people are the supermarket where they go for vacation. They go to different islands...
