when the whales came out to play


not so lucky with food but apparently pretty lucky with wildlife. the dolphins came to greet us while going out to sea and the whales were happily showing off their flips and belly flops. we started really early in the morning, met up at heathcote and had breakkie at mackers (some of them had pork rolls) then we started our journey to jervis bay. no stops, no breaks ... it was go all the way. we got there with extra time to try their "world famous fish & chips" which wasn't any good. they made us wait 45 minutes for our food knowing we had to be on a boat shortly so we gobbled everything down and rushed to the boat. the prawn was prawny, the fish fishy and the batter soggy. so anyways... not long after we had started our journey, the dolphins pop by to say hi and swam by the boat. after moving out to the open sea, far far away we could see the whales blowing water out of their blowholes and thought to myself... is that all we're gonna see?? as we moved closer to them, they moved closer to us and then they were just 50m away. i took over 200 shots and still missed out plenty when i put my hands down coz they were tired. you know how there is nothing there while you're ready and then when you decide to rest it jumps out right in front of you -_- the whales are so huge, so beautiful, so calm.... *happy*happy*
