Whale watch and Hammer heads too! 3/19/2014

On this gorgeous evening we were blessed with the calmest day we have had all week. Practically no wind and no swell, our whale watching crew was among the most lively and entertaining of the year. We departed around 16:40 heading out of the channel and going around to the mouth of Sea Cave then turning around. We were traveling back towards Maunalua Bay when one of our customers hollers out SHARK! I laugh never seeing a shark on a whale before look out the window and what do I see SHARK, a 8 foot Hammerhead shark cruising on the surface. The Hammerhead was around the boat for about 15 minutes before we went to pursue the whales. After another 15 minutes we found whales, a mother and her calf just traveling along towards Portlock. We got some good tail action and a beautiful Hawaiian sunset. Thank you for everyone who came out tonight with us, we appreciate your positivity and patience. All of you were an absolute pleasure, you make my job easy. Aloha, and we hope to see you again soon.
