Sunrise and whales

by modone1966 @ 2008-05-29 - 03:27:22

Just watched the sun rise thru the mist of the Arabian Gulf while I was having a quick smoke on the signal deck and a school of whales ( about 9 of them ) surfaced beside the ship, did that water blowy thing for a few mins and then buggered off! It's the little things like that that make this job seem worthwhile :) :) :)

I am insanely jealous of you having seen whales that close. I live in the coast in Wales and I see the occasional dolphin but no whales unfortunately.

cheers, Tom

It always seems special when you see things like that :yes: dolphins are pretty cool, but I wonder if they do the jumpy thing when no one is watching? Have seen a few recently :)Best bit was when they were chasing a school of tuna - loads of jumpimg fish :) also saw a sting ray ( manta ? ) jump as well which i didn't know they could do :no:

I haven't seen any this week, but I do see them most weeks. We get porpoise too sometimes.

Only fish I've seen in the last few days were in the Polynesian restaurant in my hotel - but they seemed peaceful enough :)
