Whale season in the Tropical North is in full swing with daily humpback sightings. This mother and calf put on a show for passengers and crew aboard dive and snorkel vessel Silverswift as they playfully breached repeatedly out of the water. Watch to see mamma show how it's done! The encounter occurred near Green Island as the vessel was returning from a day at the Outer Reefs. Quicksilver Group Environment and Compliance Manager, and cetacean expert, Phil Coulthard said “Whale season is in full swing and it’s always very exciting to see the humpbacks in our tropical waters. This mother and calf duo have been seen around the same location for several days. We’re seeing the humpbacks almost daily at this time of year. It’s part of their winter migration to our region from the southern oceans of Australia to the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park.” The sightings are recorded for the GBRMPA’s Eye on the Reef monitoring program. Humpbacks are generally seen at the Great Barrier Reef between the months of June to September with regular sightings near Green Island and at the Outer Reefs, bringing an added bonus for passengers at this time. Thanks to Silverswift marine biologist Teresa Souyet for the great footage.

Giorno 153 - buone notizie? Tutto parte nel verso sbagliato. “Ehi Frank, dove sei?” “A fort de France con la famiglia.” Lo aspettavamo in mattinata per rimontare l’argano con le spazzole nuove. Alla fine è tornato, ci ha ridato l’argano come prima, ma dando una bella spruzzata di crc alle molle delle spazzole è tornato in vita forte e vigoroso. Torniamo in barca e ci aspetta il rimontaggio. Sotto un caldo torrido. Un’altra giornata fermi in marina.. Ma inutile infastidirsi, come diceva Cami ieri, non bisogna prendersela per eventi di cui non si ha il controllo. Finito di rimontare l’argano, festeggiato per il suo funzionamento, facciamo due passi e vediamo una meraviglia. Un catamarano sollevato da un pallone pieno d’aria per lavorare sul sail drive dell’elica. Geniale, bizzarro, francese. Questa volta direi efficace! Ora doccia e poi una cena gigante, la fame è tantissima oggi! A domani! Un abbraccio A.
