Whale watching on Salt Cay

After two full days on the water, we have had about 15 documented sightings, lots of activity and even a few flukes. Humpbacks fluke up considerably more in their feeding grounds then they do here in their breeding grounds, which will make our photo identification a little more slow going. However, I am not complaining, as I have never had such a beautiful field location. It took me about 15 minutes to realize that whale watching in a bathing suit is preferable to soaking your few clean clothes with salt water. Whale watching occurs here in small boats so no matter how calm the day, you are assured of getting wet to some degree. And drying off in a bathing suit is so much faster and comfortable then wearing wet clothes, so work feels very much like vacation.

This picture shows how clear the water is, and how fantastic it is to be able to see these magnificent creatures; very different from my home waters of Massachusetts.
