Whale Watching In Maui last year.

All Tail


Baby breach



This was the most amazing encounter of all my whale excursions. We were sitting maybe 300 yards off shore watching a mother and baby resting. Suddenly a male, 30 or 40 feet from the boat, slowly raised his tale out of water and into the air, holding it for a few seconds, waving and then slowly lowering himself back into the water. He did this twice. I never saw any another whale do anything like this.

Very nice photos Gordon.. I know it helps to be at the right place, at the right time, but you did great in capturing these images. Nice job on the composition...
