It was a modest sized boat. As you can see from the pictures they got pretty close. I thought at one time they were going to hit us!
We had bought a Panasonic camcorder specially for the trip. It's a great little device, small, light and decent enough quality for us.
It was a cool, damp day, when we got to where the whales were we all went outside to look at them. Quite a lot of people stood on the roof of the boat to get a better view. I stayed at the back where I was close to water level.
I was so excited when they came under the boat that I nearly dropped the camera. Humpack whales are enourmous. I only really saw what happened when I watched it back.
If you want to watch the video it can be found here . I'm afraid it's only in WMV format at the moment but if there is any interest I will convert it. It's best watched full screen on a broadband or faster connection.
