They were doing long dives and showing up unexpectedly in places so eventually, we moved on to see a pair of Humpback Whales.

We viewed Divot and her calf. The pic above is the calf’s head and blowhole. The bumps that you see on the head are hair follicles. You can kinda make out the gum line where the baleen is located in her mouth.

The Humpbacks actually gave us a better show today than the Killer Whales. They were going in large circles feeding as they went. Nice viewing the T65A3, T65A4, Divot and Calf
