A light drizzle was falling as we left the car and headed down the coastal track. We figured it would soon clear. We ignored the people running back towards shelter, going the opposite direction to us. But by the time we had gone a couple of hundred metres, the rain was falling steadily and the wind whipping in from the ocean was cold. Rob and I looked at each other and, both with the same thought, turned and headed back to the car. We weren’t prepared for a wet weather walk; we’d donned sunscreen and hats before heading out, but weather near the cape can turn quickly. We were soaked and cold by the time we closed the car doors on the wind and rain. The whales would have to wait. Or rather, we would have to wait until we attempted to spot any whales.
Thar she blows
Thar she blows
Thar she blows
