HUMPBACK WHALES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We were at Susui Island. There was, supposedly, a bay there FULL of turtles. We hadn't found it yet but there were lots of good beaches and other bays to explore. One of the bays had tonnes of MASSIVE (and yummy) oysters in it. Yesterday morning I was enjoying a lovely sleep, when mum shouted "WHALES!!!!!", that and the sound of the other 4 members of my family running over the top of each other to get outside, woke me up in a hurry! When my eyes adjusted to the light of the morning, I saw that about a mile out there were around 4 whales breaching. I suggested that we go get a closer look in the dingy, and in a second everyone was rushing around. After putting the dingy down, getting jackets and jumpers on, getting out everyone's snorkeling gear(just in case) and making sure we had enough fuel in the dingy, we set out. When we were close enough to see the Humpbacks properly, the dingy started to drift towards them. There was a massive mother and her calf breaching 3 meters away from us. Fletcher started to freak out when he saw how big these animals really were!! I started to get my snorkel and mask on, but they were really big creatures and I could see them fine already. After a while the whales started to head off again, and we headed home.
