We figured we were lucky enough to see those and started getting organised for the night sail, when out of no where an adult whale surfaced next to the yacht in the dark. Amazing and scary at the same time as we guessed that he/she may have crossed in front of the boat without us being aware of it.
These sightings were around North Stradbroke Island where they travel closest to the coast.
We then put a call into the Dept of Sustainability, Environment, Water etc and suggested they organise the whales with navigation lights as they were a shipping hazard. Good grief two more night sails to go, let's hope we don't bump into anything.
Hello sailors
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy reading your travel blog! It seems like you both have a great time on Samaya, and why shouldn't you, with beautiful scenery and whales outside your living room window :-)
Not sure if you have heard about the situation here in Oslo? Anyway, just wanted to let you know that both myself, my friends and my family are all safe and sound. But the whole country is chocked by the horrific ordeal. This is something that none could have thought would happen in a country like Norway, and shouldn't happen anywhere, but still it happened here.
Well - Keep living your dream.
Talk later
