Many yearling Humpbacks have been sighted over the last few days and even more again today with some spectacular surface behaviour sighted. Breaching, head lunging, tail slapping and peduncle slaps were seen on both our morning and afternoon departures with one young whale performing 20+ breaches! The Language of the Whales is taught onboard every one of our cruises and we are very fortunate today to have so many wonderful examples of their much loved surface behaviour.
During our afternoon tour we sighted a mother and her yearling, mum was tail slapping on her belly and also on her back which inspired her little one to try but she couldn’t get the roll over just right and ended up with her fluke swaying in the breeze which had everyone giggling onboard. This young yearling will very soon leave mum but before she does continues to practice all she has learnt over the last 12 months. A very beautiful Albatross was also sighted today and had the unfortunate event of being covered in whale spray… mmm delicious.
许多即将成年的座头鲸在过去的几天里在奥古斯塔经常出入，今天我们看到很多次鲸鱼连续跳出水面、摆尾、侧跃。上午一头成年的鲸鱼大概跳跃了20多次，游客和我们都非常多兴奋，因为太难见到了！我们会为每位中船上的游客解说各种鲸鱼的动作语言。
今天下午的出海，一只鲸鱼妈妈中教她的宝宝怎么摆尾，一直连续摆尾，鲸鱼宝宝中妈妈的带领下也尝试着怎么摆尾，太可爱了！这个即将成年的鲸鱼宝宝通过无数次的学习摆尾后会离开她的妈妈独自生活。
