Whale off the Port Bow

We saw at least eleven large whales during our morning walk around deck twelve. Two of them passed within a few yards of the ship, so close that we could hear them breathe (click HERE for the video - watch all the way to the end to experience them up close).

By the way, Patti asked why she didn't see people swimming in the Portugal photos. The water temperature was in the sixties which made it nice for wading, but a little too refreshing for long swims.
