Whales in between Tortola and Jost Van Dyke!

The last day of another charter has rolled around again. It has been good weather. We woke up surrounded by boats in White Bay, large crewed cats, first thing in the morning so we decided to get out of there and give up our prime spot.
This was from dinner last night, the girls really enjoyed the music at Ivans and said that Chinnery had a fantastic voice. They thought it was some of the best music they have heard, and Ivan tinged away on his triangle...

We were sailing over to Great Thatch for a snorkel when we spotted 2 whales, a big and little one...

It was very exciting, so we watched them for awhile.

I was finally convinced to put together my camera and get in the water. Never really got in front of them so it was really just in and out of the water swimming seeing nothing a couple times. I snuck down to the bottom just for a look see and saw nothing, it was very murky, and about 84 feet deep. Nothing but baby conch. I was on my way up doing a safety stop when I saw something come into my vision and this is what i saw. Scared the hell out of me!!

While I was taking pictures of B, he was taking a picture of me...

Apparently he followed my bubbles for awhile looking for whale and this picture looks like a jellyfish, but it is actually a reflection of B in one of my bubbles!

The only picture I got was of the Promenade, no whale for me!

Oh, and a nice silhouette as well though...

Jumped in the water by Great Thatch to finish off my tank and saw an Angelfish. That was the extent of my excitement. The north side has been horrible visibility all winter with the swells...

We barbecued hamburgers and then had a great sail (with most everyone including me having a nap) up to Great Harbour on Peter Island where we enjoyed our last dinner tonight. Some are ready to go home, others aren't!

I understand that we have a big fish on so off I go to see!
