Believe it or not, it reminds me of our trip through the Drake Passage on my way to Antarctica a couple years ago. Our ship was going through 15-foot+ swells for about two days. Here is a video of what I am almost certain is the same ship I was on (the Professor Multanovsky) going through the passage:
Once they got to Antarctica, these people saw whales just like we did:
I can't tell you how much this video of the whales and especially the sounds of their blowholes bring back memories for me. We had a similar experience in kayaks with two whales swimming under us and hanging out with us for about 10-minutes. At one point, they got within about 20 feet of my kayak. It remains one of the most incredible experiences of my life.
Here is one of the pictures I took of our whale encounter:
And a couple more:
Would I brave the rough waters to go back again? I'd do so in a heartbeat!
See more photos from my trip and watch a video of me with the penguins.
