This evening we are invited on a private shore excursion with the rest of the Centurion Group to go Whale Watching and see what else we can find! Our group of over 20 people are bussed to the local Allin Marina and loaded into three beautiful high speed catamarans for our Quest! The catamaran is three decks high, with very comfortable seats, binoculars and maps in each seats for us to use. We also have been presented with a full buffet of Salmon, Reindeer Sausage and all kinds of other local delicacies - and a full open bar - of course! :)
Just as soon as we leave the harbor we spot our first Humpbackwhale and are able to sit back and watch as it breaches the surface, spouts and dives back down with its spectacular tail rising into the air! We watch a few more times then head off to look for more. This time it takes us about 45 minutes to find another whale - but this time we spot a whole pod of them and watch for another hour as they swim, dive, jump, spout and generally feed and protect their young! On the way back to the marina - the captain brings Priscilla to the front of the cabin so we can all sing Hapy Birthday! Priscilla's face was a red as her hair! A great day was had by all!
