OMG – they were amazing, a pair of enormous humpbacks came close to the boat and spent at least two hours playing right next to it and in front, crossing from side to side, some people took over 400 photos !!! They were breaching, diving, displaying flukes (tails), flipper flapping and just playing, they were often so close that I couldn’t get them all in my zoom lens!!! They would spout and we would feel the whales breath spray. Really privileged to see this. That afternoon – we saw over 40 individuals, but none could match the show that these two had put on for us. Hope the video does it justice,
We had seen all that this trip had promised and more, we were satiated and 'suficiento' so 2 more days back across the Drake – more sleep and it was a sad disembarkation. Not sure if the sense of uniqueness and remoteness will be experienced ever again.
Some dulche de leche ire cream cheered me up!!
Derek flew home and I took a few days rest in 5 star hotels in Ushuaia and El Calafate before the next expedition, facials . massage, no dock rock, more steak and Malbec and prepared for the next adventure.
