Humpback Whales everywhere…!

Humpback Whales everywhere…!

There is no point posting any sightings of the humpback whales on their sojourn up the east coast of Africa- there are just so many of them!

Travelling north in random patterns and formations, the whales are having a blast, jumping clean out of the water often times.

As far as the sardines are concerned, it’s only the red eye version of the sardine, to report. Shoals moving north were being hustled by dolphins and gamefish…a similar scene to normal sardines but on a very small scale.

The water has cooled over the last two weeks, to about 19 degrees some times and places, which is great for the sardines, if they decide to come this way!
