Living onboard means you spend many hours looking at the water. Whether you are simply gazing at the never ending blue or keeping a sharp eye out for the plastic floats that mark the tangling lines of fish traps, you are always watching water. Suddenly something exceptional happens - WHALES. Roy spotted them first just off the port bow. Large, black backs just breaking the surface. I counted two, then three, then four of them. The largest one in the lead followed by two others and then what looks like a younger one. We can see them blow water. Then they disappear and reappear even closer to the boat. Then they dive and two slip directly under the boat. We see the disappearing white water patches they leave behind as they plunge beneath us. Next we spot them on the other side of the boat. They continue on and we wonder if they even really noticed us. Finally, we see the smallest one's tail flick out of the water as in swims after the others. Really cool
