Humpbacked Whale blowing

 Orca and Humpbacked Whales - we were fortunate that with our photos the captain could identify which individual whales we were seeing by comparing with a photo database on his laptop. On the Orca it was the patterns of marks on the dorsal fin while the Humpback had a unique pattern of white and black visible just as the whale dives.
