Whale Sighting - Mon 28th Jun 2010

Whales sighted off True Blue vessel Explorer this season: 135 humpback whales, 2 minke, 220 Offshore or Oceanic Bottlenose Dolphins (Tursiops truncatus), approx 74 Bottlenose Dolphins (Tursiops aduncus), 2 Australian Fur Seal. Flocks of Gannets, 20 Black Browed Albatross and plenty of Sea Gulls.

Magnificent conditions for the PM cruise with no wind and sunny clear skies. The Explorer did not have to go far with 1 single Humpback spotted just off the Sydney Headlands. Not so long after off the Macquarie Lighthouse 2 pods were spotted. A pod of 3 Whales followed by a slower pod of 2.

These Whales were in cruise mode following their mates up North with many Fluke Up Dives seen.
