Passe de la Baleine: Whale Sound
We pass through "Whale Sound" at about 8:30am. "Fatuhiva" is just ahead, Danish, "Najad" leading by about an hour. We're all heading for Guadeloupe.
An hour later, just a few boat lengths behind "Fatuhiva I notice a spume of spray. It can't be a reef?! A broad dark "reef" with a dorsal fin rises from the foam, then goes down again in another spout of fishy spray. Wow. Our first whale! A humpback? And at a comfortable distance from "Babette". Perfect.
Guadeloupe: Tied, nose first, onto a dock in "Marina bas du Fort" near Pointe-à-Pitre, beside "Najad", "Fatuhiva" two boats down, we discuss whales. We all prefer seeing them to running into them. We hear "Agape" has three hits.
