Day 22, October 1st, 2018. The ocean was teeming with life today. More specifically, the Southern right whales were out in full force. I volunteered on a shark cage dive in the morning and two whale watches in the afternoon. The ocean was calm and windless during the dive. I was able to cage dive myself and the trip ended with a great white shark. Then the wind picked up. As our guide says, “when the wind picks up, so do the whales.” That rang true today. After driving only a few minutes from the harbor, we spotted breaching whales in the distance. Then we saw more whales breaching. And more whales breaching. At one point, there were two Southern right whale calves breaching in unison. It was as if they were competing for the high jump gold medal. An exceptional day on the water.
