The Whale Watching Season 2010 is now officially under way for more than a week now. It has not been an easy start so far as Sydney is facing days of heavy rain and choppy seas - not ideal for finding and watching whales.  Never the less we are doing fine out there finding Whales, Dolphins, heaps of Sea Birds and even Flying fish have been amongst our Whale Sightings so far. On the 19. of May we had our first breaching Humpback Whale, jumping twice for us close to our vessel. I was lucky enough to manage to get a couple of pictures which you can see on our Whale Sightings page. On the 21. of May i have not been so lucky. We spent some time searching for the whales when we saw an unexpected breach just of Maroubara Beach ( well, breaches are never really expected =). At first i thought it was a Humpback Whale calf as it looked pretty tiny to me. That would be highly unusual as we start seeing calves around August / September. Most likely it was a Minke Whale, because we never saw the whale again after it was jumping twice. Minkes are known for being very shy and staying away from boats.
