Whale Watching

 
Currently Reading
Judge & Jury

Today I went on a military sponsored whale watching tour near the Kerama Islands. Of course there were no guarantees that we'd actually see any whales and I was a little worried cuz it's the end of the season so I was afraid they'd be gone. I guess they are only around here a couple months a year. But after almost 1 1/2 hours on the boat we finally found a pod...well, they said it was a pod. But I think I only saw 2 at the same time so who knows how many were actually there. It was quite fun when we finally found them though. There were about 9 boats all chasing the whales. I tried to take pictures but they whales weren't very good at posing. And the water was pretty choppy so it was hard to see their backs above water. However, I did get some relatively decent video of them. Maybe decent is too generous. The video is, of course, very jerky cuz I was on a boat (get those puke bags ready!), and noisy cuz it was windy. But here, for your viewing pleasure, is my Hunt for Humpback Whales...

Hey that was great! You got a lot of good shots, especially when you didn't know where they would breach next. ...and we didn't even need a barf bag.
