Brisky and Trooper Watch Whales

The good buddies Brisky and Trooper were hoping to see some whales on this trip and they were not disappointed. They  probably saw around 10 sightings of whales and a couple of times they were very close. The trouble with seeing whales though is that they come up and you see them and then run and get your camera ready to take a photo of them but they dive down deep into the ocean water and can stay under the water for a long time, usually about 5 minutes or so. When they come back up again they can be far away from where you are so it's hard to get a good photo. 

Nonetheless, Brisky and Trooper sat for a long time waiting to get another glimpse of the whales. 

Usually, they were humpback whales and there would be two of them together. It might have been a mother with a very big baby whale. When they come to the surface to breathe, they shoot a tall spray of water out of the blowhole which is 

located on the top of their backs.

 Brisky and Trooper watched for whale "spouts" when they come up to breathe. 

 One time, they came right out of the water and made a big splash!

 Brisky and Trooper stayed sitting on the front of the boat for a long time, even after the whales were long gone. We have a very beautiful coast here in BC and it is wonderful to see so many of God's beautiful creatures.
