After a long journey from Alaska, the Humpback Whales are in Hawaii. They are having their young ones, called calves. Whales are easily spotted from land when they "blow".
We decided to take a closer look. We signed up for a whale watching excursion aboard the Quicksilver.
The Quicksilver is based out of a small marina (above). About 20 passengers made the trip. The search for whales was on.
We got close to lots of whales. The problem is this. The whales jump out of the water, everyone screams, you point your camera, you hurriedly click the camera, and hope for the best. Unfortunately, the whale is back in the water by the time you take your picture. Like this:
Here are my best attempts.
The pictures were not so great, but the trip was. The Captain's narrative about whales was amazing. Then, there was the setting. It is beautiful out there on the water.
We returned to the marina, very pleased with the trip.
