We were able to find several whales on the Asteria today, despite the unexpectedly windy weather. There were three to four humpbacks and one minke whale in the area.


We spent most of our time with Shuffleboard, a humpback whale first seen in 2008. Shuffleboard was taking very short dives and using low bubble clouds to feed underneath the water, coming up to the surface regularly and giving us great looks at its tail while diving.
