Our first Humpback Whale swim of 2011

Although we have already spent a number of days with the whales this season, today offered the first occassion when they allowed us to swim with them.

It was great to be back in the water with such an amazing creature.

We grabbed a few shots for your pleasure.

Lunch was on the deserted island of Luangahu - mmm, mmm, mmm.

Asleep when we arrived

Wakey, wakey, rise and shine.

The pectoral fin is very long and gives the latin name "Megaptera".
