Had my mate Lee Parkhouse up this week for his honeymoon with wife Sara – who requested a trip out to see the whales to balance the fishing

It was a stunning day to be on the water & it didn’t take long to find our 1st whale

While drifting for lunch – we had a couple of visitors arrive unannounced !
