Comments: Whale-watching boat trip with my family, Kim & Angela. An early morning was required to catch the first boat out but everyone soon forgot their fatigue when the whales started jumping, though we all dozed on the way back. As well as the birds, Humpback, Minke & Fin whales were also seen.
Weather: bright, hot & sunny.
