Gwen and her team have since left Plett and moved on to do whale
surveys in False Bay. This left me with the job of joining the commercial whale
watching tours and photographing any whales seen. Unfortunately, being winter
with no tourists, the trips out to sea have been minimal. Fortunately, the one
trip I did do we managed to find a whale! Score! It is amazing to see the
peoples joy and excitement over the whale sighting and I realised how
incredibly blessed I was to have spent the time I did with Gwen and her team,
with so many sightings and being able to get so close! On the handful of trips
I did with Gwen, we managed to find at least one whale on every trip, sometimes
even two or three. For the first two weeks in False Bay, with trips to sea almost
every day, Gwen didn’t see any whales. How lucky am I?!
