The first day of June and the first day of winter marks the official start date of the whale migration in New South Wales and while the air is chilly we are set to venture off shore in search of our first Humpback Whale of the day. The crew of the Hinchinbrook Explorer have just sat the vessel off the Fingal Bay Lighthouse for a while when they have spotted a breaching whale, the Captain has done a number of loops around the perimeter of the whales location to come into line and be able to cruise from a distance at the same speed of the whale who has spent a good amount of time on the surface of the water. We have also spotted a huge pod of Common Dolphins off shore.
