Flat mild sea condition - minor increase in southern wind through the day

We sailed to the same spot we have encountered whales the last few days, Hjaltery. Here we saw the same Humpback Whales we had been previously seeing, however, with the addition of many more. There were approximately 10 individuals. They were all diving for short periods of times and surfaced all around the boat. The afternoon tour also had a very close encounter with Jubilee and Inkblot who turned and came towards us swimming underneath the bow. Other notable behaviors included a whale coming up onto its side to look at everyone on board and a whale with a completely black fluke displaying a strange snaking movement.
