You lucky things down under !! yet I do not think I could endure the heat , This is a lovely bright and clear capture of an idyllic way to watch the life at sea !
Lovely composition and capture Babs, hope the tourist had a wonderful day, been on a similar boat in the Whitsundays, whilst swimming off the boat was lucky to have some Dolphins come to investigate, they can turn very fast we were told to held our arms straight out and they repeatedly swan under just touching our hands:)
That looks an exciting trip Babs! Something I would like to go on! I suppose you have been on all the trips like this over the years & you are used to seeing all the visitors enjoying themselves.
@leggzy February is usually our humid month, but the last couple of years that has usually included part of January too. the rest of the time it is fine.
@quietpurplehaze It is very calm in the bay. Only when the boats go out of the Heads does it get a bit choppy, but that is for the whale watch cruises and there are no whales at the moment.
@pcoulson We are so lucky that there are lots of dolphins in the bay and we see them regularly even from land. Sometimes when I walk down to the beach in an evening I can see them swimming past doing a spot of fishing.
@365projectorgsebgritt There are always plenty of dolphins to see in the bay. We don't even have to go out on the water to see them, they come right up to the breakwater.
@happypat Yes, we have been on a few dolphin and whale watch cruises, but we don't have to go out on a boat to see them. We can see the whales from land at Birubi Beach and dolphins from land as we walk along the beach in an evening, but it is nice to see them following the boats when on the cruises.
@inthecloud5 Thanks Christine, the dolphin watch cruises are always calm. Sometimes though the whale watch cruises can get a bit choppy once the boats are outside The Heads and in the ocean proper.
@golftragic The Japanese are a pain. Glenn Lokitch a friend of ours has been out on the Sea Shepherd chasing the Japanese whalers. The photos he takes are quite scary.
@yaorenliu Just dolphins at the moment. The whales don't come up from Antarctica until June or July and then travel back with their babies in September and October.
@onewing I'll bet they are, he's got real guts to go out there. Our feeble govt should send a boat or two down there to keep 'em out of our waters at least.
That looks like a fun thing to do, especially in super hot weather. I wish we could give you some of our cool weather in return for some warm sunshine.
