BLESSED SUNDAY morning to you all !

WHALE UPDATE :::: It’s Spring tides at the moment and then for 2 days before and 2 days after Spring tide we can’t get over the sandbanks into the ocean, so we can only get the tours done that are booked over high tide ….

Danie took Berno and Bien’s boats through the surf this morning, they both saw between 11 – 14 Humpback Whales, a school of about 40 Common Dolphins and approximately 60 Bottlenose Dolphins.

The daily personalized dvd’s that get made about the whale watching trips can be viewed on the big screen at The Whale Office …

Accommodation in St Lucia seems to be fully booked this longweekend of the 24th of September 2007 .

If anybody still has any opening , empty rooms or flats , please let us know as we have walk-ins into the office all the time enquiring about the accommodation availability.

The Hippo and Croc Boat Tours still have empty seats , and there is also still place on the Whale Watching trips .

This time of the year is just our windy season , we have the prevailing north winds blowing daily , and have to be able to get out early to do the whale trips , as later throughout the day the wind just gets too strong .
