We ended up stopping the ship for about an hour to watch four humpback whales feed |
Bubble netting. Basically the humpbacks swim in a circle and create a lot of bubbles, which then creates a tunnel of bubble that corrals the krill together. |
Then the humpbacks swim up through the tunnel with mouths open to devour the krill. Pretty clever. |

They never did breach out of the water. Lazy bastards. |
