Watched by Whales – off Simon’s Town
While heading toward Windmill Beach the same three whales suddenly appeared in front of us - almost as if they had been waiting for us to catch up. One ‘chased’ after the lead paddler who immediately paddled back to join the group while the other two whales made their presence known by surfacing close by and gently `herding' us. “Is this what it is like to be in a bait ball?” someone asked. For those of you who shared this special encounter or anyone who has had a similar experience: What do you think? Please comment and share your understanding or feelings about encounters with whales.
