Whale watching trip

zoooooooooooooooom...................a  speed boat trip watching whales,sharks and dolphins.
We had a wonderful experience travelling to the middle of the sea, specially in a speed boat.
It was most thrilling when the boat jumped for every high and wide tide.

So it started like, the weekend has started,thinking what to do as the climate was bit sunny.
Quickly we started to plan to make bookings for whale watching trip (which we were planning
for several days). One big coincidence is, I had an early morning dream like watching Dolphins,
and we were planning like that itself.

The place where we live is known as Dolphin coast..,as the dolphins live round the year in the sea.
So we booked the boat for 12-1pm trip, as we get late in the morning usually,so planned ahead
 of time.

We got ready by wearing life jacket, and luckily it was only we in the last trip, no outsiders
and felt like a private charter. Our trip started around 12:15 pm, while racing towards the sea,
we got a chance to see a small sharks eating a fish which was hooked by a fishing guy.
As we moved towards the sea, the land area started to disappear, only high rise buildings
were seen and the boat was jumping 'bumpy' while going through long waves. As it was sunny,
thank god, we didn't feel that much cold too, as summer is on its way saying 'bye bye' to spring.
After travelling a few distance,we saw a bunch of dolphins jumping and bouncing into the sea.
And one particular dolphin diving under our boat. Boat man was explaining that dolphins are
friendly and they come to play often after they hear boat engine sound.

Immediately after seeing spectacular scene, we spotted a big gigantic "Humpback Whale" with
its calf , where we were able to see the fin alone. Whales normally travels thousands of km
all the way from  "Antarctic Ocean" for giving birth  We could see water splashing out when it breaths
and it was big and long whale lying in the sea bed. It was a quick trip and while returning we had
a fast ride back to the beach and fantastic boat jump to the shore as ours was the last trip.
