On our way across the lagoon on our way to Ilot Amedee, Victoria thought she spotted waves breaking on a reef. According to the charts (the incredibly accurate charts as compared to the rest of the South Pacific) there was not supposed to be a reef there. It turned out to be the humpback waves we had hoped to see !
We tried to keep our distance but a mum and calf surfaced half a boat length from us. Too surprised to get a photo. Good practice for our intended trip to Tonga next season.

| Different marine life ... These guys blasted by us after seeming to having trouble deciding whether to pass behind or ahead of us. We were the 'give-way' vessel but hard to do much at 6 kts when the 'give-way' vessel is doing 20 kts and maneuvering all over the place. |
