\nToday was a rough day at sea! But this did not stop us from searching for cetaceans. And wow did we manage! After arriving in the area where the look-out had seen something, we saw a big blow! And it was not just a blow of a whale\u2026this blow was really tall and columnar. We waited and waited but did not see much\u2026until suddenly again, BLOW! It was the blow of a blue whale<\/a>, the largest animal on the planet, reaching a maximum ever recorded size of 33m. <\/span><\/span>In the moment of this sighting, all the rough seas were forgotten. <\/span><\/div>\n

\nThe moment this gigantic whale was showing off a part of its body at the surface was truly unique. And very special for all our guests, particularly for a special woman that has been going out to the sea with us since 2006. The first blue whale for her too!<\/span><\/div>\n
