30 June, 1 July - Great weekend of whales

Numerous sightings were made throughout the weekend, on water most of our action was around the West Island area, from the land traveling Humpbacks and Southern Right whales were spotted from Waitpinga to Goolwa lookout.  The first calf is now suckling in the Encounter Bay Whale Sanctuary.  Below is a picture by Maddie of a whale in the lee area of Granite Island.
