Whale Watching
... to become sea sick, this would do it. We saw what we paid to see. The Southern Right Whales were all around; it was so neat to see how the mothers of these calves protect them. She kept herself between our ship and her baby at all times. We must have seen between 10 and 12 whales today. We had never heard whales bellow or roar as these did.

It is often in the clouds and not worth the visit ...
