Whale Watching

One of our other day trips was a whale watching trip.  We had to take a scenic drive through the country side and take two ferries with our car all the way to Brier Island.  

Waiting for the first ferry.




When we arrived at Brier Island, we were about an hour early for our whale watch. We had packed a lunch and found a real nice spot that overlooked the bay.


Lucas took this picture....




We were the only Americans at our campsite.  However, on this whale watch, almost everyone was from the States.  There was even another set of (six year old boy/girl) twins on the boat.

We saw so many whales...or maybe we only saw a few many many times.  Either way, there was much to see.






My camera died on the trip....but how many pictures of parts of whales did I need?  Right before we headed back to the harbor, two whales jumped up , flipped and crashed back down.  It was absolutely amazing.  Apparently it is called a double breach.  It looked just liked this  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fVdz_hE1MT8
It was pretty amazing to see, and I probably would have missed the beauty of it if I was trying to take a picture of it.

We got back real late, arriving at the campsite after nine.  I cooked up a quick dinner and we ate by the fire.
