What a great afternoon we had with John and Tony on the whale watching
catamaran. After lots of phone calls over the weekend because the
weather had been so horrible, John decided to take us out on Sunday the
13th of September for an afternoon sail.
There were about 8 of us and also some
tourists. The weather was calm and every now and then we got a little
bit of sunshine. We had a great sail and when we came out on the sound
we spotted the first whale.
We had to stay 100 meters away and turn the engine off.
The whale decided to have a look what that huge
white creature was and came up very close to us. It was an amazing
experience, my first time on a whale watching tour and I thought it was
absolutely magic.
For a lot of people who grew up here
in Albany
it might be quite normal to see these massive animals but for us
Friesians (I believe Antoinet is saying they come from Friesia in
Holland, not that they are cattle - web ed) this was incredible. We are
so lucky to live in such an
beautiful part of the world.
Many thanks again to John and Forrest for an
unforgettable day. And
thank you Tony for all the yummy goodies.
