Toward the end of the last post, I mentioned we were hoping
to see a whale before we left Tonga .
Wow, did that wish come true! While we were waiting for favorable conditions
for the 3-day passage from Tonga
to Fiji ,
we went back out to one of the outlying islands. One morning what did we find
but a pair of humpbacks feeding right at the bow of our boat! We got to see
lots of detail on their bodies when they were very close; and when they finally
swam away, their breathing and diving was perfectly synchronized. A magnificent
parting gift from Tonga !
Photos kindly sent to us by Patrick from the S/V Allure, which was anchored nearby
(yes, that's us on the bow)
