Whales

We have a great couple of weeks in the Vavau group. It is currently humpback whale mating and calfing season. We have been able to see several sets of whales, some from afar and others up quite close. Amazing animals.

We have also met a boat that carries their own dive compressor, and they have kids..., so we have been having a blast diving and playing. I saw my first set of clown fish, pretty cool after watching Finding Nemo 400 times.

Slowly all the boats are now starting to head south with the official start of the NZ crossing season being October 15, we will plan for an early November trip. Hard to imagine that our cruising season will actually be coming to an end as we reach NZ.
