Getting really close
This Humpback came real close to our boat when Huguette took this shot with the G9 while I was filming with the other camera (see video later in this set).
This is about as much of the body of the whale as we were able to see on this tour. There was no breaching (leap out of the water) as we often see in magazines and publicity pamphlets. But Humpbacks are very energetic and do breach frequently, but mostly in agitated water and rarely when surface conditions are calm as they were in this instance. Well, can't have everything! I think that we were lucky enough to see them as close as we did! They're marvellous animals whether they are breaching or just lying motionless at the surface.
