picture taken by Dirk Czerwek (sorry its small, it was sent from the boat and can only be sent my minimizing the size of picture.) I could hear the whales singing so loud that i could feel their singing bouncing on my chest. It felt like my whole body was trembling and vibrating […]

Most of our guests in the lower accommodation staterooms were woken this morning by humpback whale songs reverberating through the ship around 0600.
