Bien saw only 4 Humpback Whales on the 06h00 trip this morning , but they were very inquisitive and gave a good performance ….

Just a little ‘’ halloooooooooooooooo there …………

WHALE WATCHERS have been getting sopping wet lately , with the sea being a wee bit rough and tough (sic) and spray into everybodys’ faces !...............

Danie and Co-Crew will obviously tell you (((your clientele))) all about whale behaviour whilst out at sea , but for those of us that’s demoted to office duty (ha ha ) and skippering the Hippo/Croc boat and not getting on the ocean every day ------some educationals on whales and dolphins ……

BREACHING - Breaching involves the whale propelling its body above the surface before returning to the sea with an enormous splash ! This is often repeated , and in Right Whales seems to occur more often in windy conditions . We have the same behaviour on the “”Humpback Coast “”, seeing the Humpbacks much more acrobatic when the sea conditions are more rough .The reason for breaching are unclear but it could be a from of communication , the washing away of parasites or dea skin , a form of play or some forms of display .

With Danie having done whale watching for soooooooooo many years now , he can by now tell you whether it’s going to be a good day for beaches or not , he obviously by now know a lot about the whales’ behaviour to on occasion foretell how they’re going to react .

I don’t think I have to remind you anymore about asking clientele to book in good time , we all know by now that this time of the year the weather is not kind to us the whole day (((( I’m saying that with lost of respect as I’m very greatful for the good rains …we just don’t appreciate the winds !!!))))….we find that we get 2 or 3 trips done early morning and then the wind starts howling , so please make sure to book ahead of time ….
