Today I would like to share a particularly phenomenal cruise that I had the chance to take. Arriving at our first observation site, we saw a large spout six metres high. No doubt about it! It was indeed a blue whale. With my eye glued to my lens, I watched for the arrival of the next big column of condensation with one question in mind: who was this whale?<\/p>\n

Another blast! I watched the giant powder blue, gray-mottled back glide by. Finally, the dorsal fin appeared. Rather broad and curved, with a distinctive white reflection… it was Jawbreaker, a female who has been visiting the Marine Park since 1990. Jawbreaker arrived in the park a few weeks ago and I’m beginning to recognize her. A favourite amongst captains, Jawbreaker almost always shows her tail when she dives. Under her tail is another one of Jawbreaker’s distinctive features: a large white spot. I had barely obtained the photos I was looking for when we heard a second blast behind us.<\/p>\n

Whirling around, I was surprised to see that a second blue whale had arrived on the site. There was no mistaking this whale… It was Crinkle, a female that we have observed since 1982. Crinkle has a unique appearance: her skin is wrinkled and covered with small bumps, giving her the appearance of suffering from particularly severe acne. I knew Crinkle from the catalogue, but had never seen her in the flesh! Despite all the excitement, I managed to capture the series of shots I needed to confirm her presence in the park.<\/p>\n

Crinkle, blue whale\u00a0\u00a9 GREMM<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Back on the docks, I was still smiling from ear to ear. What luck to see two famous blue whales in a single day!<\/p>
