An early morning start which is never pleasant but we had to go
early. The forecast of wind was strongest in the morning and dying out midday.
Billabong was headed for Horseshoe Bay as we had a dinner
reservation with Rob and Donna.
On the way, the wind died and conditions became very calm. I
spotted a whale on the horizon and went to investigate. It was on its own just
waving its wing in the air as if it wanted to attract some attention.
Waving to us as if to attract our attention
Followed us for 8 miles
We
observed for a few minutes and it started to come towards us. I moved away with
the engine and it kept following us. It followed us for about 8 miles. Must
have been lonely and just wanted company. I was tempted to stop and see what it
would do when it caught up to us but did not want to tempt or risk any damage
to the yacht. Best we keep our distance.
We arrived at Horseshoe Bay and had a relax and a swim and
headed into Horseshoe Bay for a lovely evening with Rob and Donna at Barefoot
Restaurant. It was a very enjoyable dinner. Rob and I had the Reef and Beef
while the girls had the Duck.
With very contented stomachs we dinghied back to the yacht for a
peaceful sleep.
