Whale of a Time

They come to the warm waters around Maui and other Hawaiian Islands to have sex. No-not the tourists- the whales! They (whales) swim from their “dining Hall” in the Bearing Sea to their “bedroom and nursery” in the island waters.

When we arrived at Maui, it was “spring break” and “Whales gone wild”! There was a major party going on-it was high season for whale watching as they were everywhere.

We went ashore and booked a whale watching tour hoping to see few up close. Wow-they were almost within touching distance of our 50 foot boat (providing you wanted to lead far out over the rail). It was so good that even the captain and mate were taking pictures.

We had a female with baby and a large male escort, circle our boat for 30 minutes-turning over and diving under the boat, putting on the best whale show I had ever seen.
