Sapphire
Coastal
Adventures
offered
to
rebook
us
on
the
cruise
departing
from
Bermagui
on
Wed
afternoon
instead
of
Merimbula
the
next
morning,
since
weather
forecast
was
dreary.
We
accepted
and
made
the
one-hour
drive
up
to
Bermagui.
Turned
out
to
be
one
of
the
best
decisions
we
have
made
in
our
lives.
The
windy,
drizzling
afternoon
meant
perfect
weather
for
a
mother-and-calf
pair
of
humpback
whales.
They
kept
us
mesmerised
with
breaches,
dives,
tails
and
fins
slapping
the
water
for
well
over
an
hour!
They
knew
they
were
playing
to
appreciative
spectators.
Towards
the
end
of
the
cruise,
our
catamaran
Bubbles
was
surrounded
by
different
pods
of
humpback
whales,
some
as
near
as
20m
from
the
boat.
Common
dolphins
also
joined
in
the
fun,
cruising
along
the
bow
and
leaping
out
of
the
water,
much
to
the
delight
of
us
especially
the
kids.
The
crew
was
really
engaging,
providing
us
with
informative
commentary.
They
also
ensured
everyone
was
safe
and
comfortable
(read:
not
seasick),
while
making
sure
the
physically-challenged
(an
older
lady
had
reduced
mobility)
could
see
the
whales
too.
An
amazing
and
magical
experience
we'd
all
remember
all
our
lives!
