If you want to see how graceful 45 tonnes of blubber is swimming in the sea, then whale watching is the way to go. We had a fantastic afternooon in the sea off the Gold Coast watching these beautiful creatures swim and play in the water. Heading out to open water we saw our first one, but being in the exclusion zone we waited for it to pass and then continued into deeper waters to find these mighty creatues.

Work continued on the tidy up of Alister's bedroom and a total clean of the bath room.

Gypsy resting amongst the paperwork.	The desk half emptied.	A clean neat & tidy bathroom.	For the romantic take a Gondola ride.
Our boat awaits us.	Waiting for the last people to board.	The captain's chair.	Across the Broadwater to the Seabank Centre.
Gai enjoys a coffee.	Heading towards the Seaway.	Looking back to Surfers.	Cleared the Seaway. Onto deeper waters.
Now where are these whales.	We're all on the look out.	They've got to be some where.	Clive has the camera ready.

Spotted. There she blows.

A pod of three.
