Whales in the kiake trip

Humpback Whale:
Humpback

 




        On the first day kayaking my mom saw some Humpback whales. She saw 2 of them travailing together and they would come to the surface and spray water in the air. They migrate in the winter to the Arabic sea and in the summer they go to the Northern Arctic to eat. Just before it went out of sight it sufficed and made a splash with its tale. The males are normally 40-48 feet and the females are  45-50 feet. It felt kind of scary being 50 feat away from a whale  in a kayak. With one sweep of its tail it could tip us over.

  1. Humpbacks--how awesome!! And a tail-splash--even better. And being within 40-50 feet of them would scare me, too!! They are so big and the kayak so tippy, and the water so cold!!
