Wow! What a day! After a rude awakening at 6am we set off into a sea which was smooth like a mill pond. Eagle eyed Pine spotted some harbour porpoise as soon as we got out of Gardenstown Harbour then it was a long ride along the coast to Fraserburgh. This is where things got interesting. After having a biscuit whilst being watched by the seals, we headed out to deeper water where we found ourselves right in the middle of 4 Stinky Minkes feeding! How cool! We were surrounded and didn't know which way to look. There were shouts of "Minke at 6 o'clock", "Feeding strike at 3 o'clock", "Blow" and lots of over-excited whoops. What an experience.
We stayed with the animals for 2 hours, stopping to enjoy our lunch whilst they were enjoying theirs. During this time we were also joined by 4 Harbour porpoise which came right up behind our boat, spinning round like beautiful little wheels past us and back again.
After lunch Andreas treated us to a laugh as he tried to pee over the bow, it took two attempts as he was struck with stage fright on the first attempt.
Then the journey home across the glassy ocean spotting another couple of porpoise on the way.
Go team! I'm sure Kerry'll get some photos up soon for you all.
Out.
