What A Day
Wednesday, September 14th, 2011
What a day it has been in Byron Bay! Seas were calm and whale watchers were rewarded with multiple whale sightings, dolphins and a couple of seals at Julian Rocks.
Most of the whales were heading south past Cape Byron with many males competing for females. This means we saw lots of surface action up close with a couple of curious whale swimming right under the boat. Behavior like this is common and should continue for the next few weeks as the humpback whales head south back to their feeding grounds off the Antarctic continent.
All the traffic wasn’t all south as we encountered a mother with her new born calf heading north. The calf was very small and grey indicating it was born within the last days and maybe only hours old.
The weather forecast is excellent for the the next few days so come along and experience the amazing migration.
