Well it was a mugging and spy-hopping fest today on board Spirit of Port!!

We had some incredible glass like sea conditions to start with and then got the shock of our life when three very friendly and inquisitive humpback whales started spy hopping all around the boat. Moving about each side of the boat, going underneath to cross over the other side of us, and really wanting to get a good look at the passengers on board. So to say it was a treat is an understatement to say the least.

This pod were headed southbound, but gosh were we happy to have such a perfect day out on the water with our giant friends of the sea.
