Where Are The Whales ??

It is great having a cabin (sorry, stateroom) with a balcony. Our one on the Queen Mary 2 wasn't a very big balcony, but it was big enough for the 5 of us to sit and watch the waves. The 3 of us small critters specially liked to sit here, just inside the open window lip, and watch for whales. We were cruising across the Great Australian Bight, which is a breeding ground for Southern Right Whales, so we thought that there would be a fair chance of spotting a few. Well, we knew they should be there but somebody forgot to tell the whales. We saw lots of sea-birds and some fish jumping, but not a single whale. Maybe they were scared by the noise of the ship's engines. Actually, the scaredest thing of all was Mum when she found out where our favourite spot was. There was no way that we were going to be blown or tumbled overboard, we knew that, but somebody forgot to tell Mum. We got hauled back inboard and had the riot act read to us.

I will be away for the next few days, doing something special at Sydney. It is a bit like our QM2 trip, but very, very different. Watch this space next week.....
