It’s always like this Whale watching. 50% of your time is travelling and 45% waiting. The remaining 5% is the best; when cetaceans show themselves. We were waiting to see a Humpback in the St Lawrence, Quebec. It had dived somewhere in this area 10 minutes earlier.
Sometimes they can come up from the deep far from where they went down. But sometimes, just sometimes …. they can come up real close.
