Kaikoura, New Zealand



Today is perfect for whale watching. The skies are clear and the sea is calm. I'm lucky. As we cruise out I watch the depth gauge plummet from 90 metres to over 700 in a few seconds as we enter the canyon.

It's a successful day. I see a Humpback and a couple of Sperm whales. On the way back to shore a couple of Hector's dolphins porpoise by the boat. These are the smallest dolphins in the world and are very rare. It's the first time the crew have seen them in months so I feel doubly lucky.
