On Sunday Daryl called the "Whale Watching Hotline" to see if there had been any sightings. The guy said that there was a mother and her calf playing offshore at the "Bluff". We packed enough food to last us atleast 2 days! and headed out to Victor Harbour... we stopped to buy some binoculars and thought that we would be in for a long day since it was 09:15 when we called and it is alteast an hours drive to Victor Harbour. But we were not disappointed... as soon as we got out of the car and were walking towards the Bluff Daryl spotted a whale!! We got there just in time. It wasn't far off of shore and was breaching out of the water and flipping it's tale in the air. It was so cool!! We got some video of the whales but the videos can not do it justice. It was pretty amazing to see. I thought my new camera was good but this has made us realize that we need to get something that zooms in closer. Hope you enjoy the videos.
We also spoke to this couple who can see the cove from their patio - the lady asked if I was from Scotland.... now this is new... I am used to people asking if I am from "America" but not Scotland!! Daryl says that I am losing my Canadian accent. I think it is just getting softer and probably has something to do with the Aussie phrases that I have picked up ;)
