Strictly Ballroom Posted October 23, 2013 #126 Share Posted October 23, 2013 We are at Lahaina on I believe the 12th February :( So it looks like I will have to try my whale mating call in the hope of attracting these beautiful creatures. I have a 500mm lens plus if needs be a couple of converters but what will be, will be. I am hoping to see these whales from the ship, the better half is on an excursion to see them so hopefully we have our bases covered. My main challenge was\is to snap an albatross or two as I never, ever thought about these humpbacks being within range :) John, Please invite me around when you plan to try this whale call experiment. I would love to bear witness to this! :D :D :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glojo Posted October 23, 2013 #127 Share Posted October 23, 2013 John, Please invite me around when you plan to try this whale call experiment. I would love to bear witness to this!:D :D Oh yee of little faith ;) They say that only 'Mad dogs and Englishmen come out in the midday sun' but quite clearly there is no sun and definitely no dogs... Just stark raving mad Englishmen (and women) Lucky for them there were no humpback whales cruising up the River Taw :eek::eek:;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barbjd106 Posted February 15, 2014 #128 Share Posted February 15, 2014 (edited) I am in the early stages of planning a WC for 2016 The only line that has come out with an itinerary is Crystal. I do not think we would get bored at all. We love to read, exercise and do trivia on sea days. Also the 'new' passengers on each segment would be interesting to us to meet. Husband and I are both self employed, so how we would work that out is an issue. I feel that we have plenty of time to prepare. We will also be finished paying tuition in May 2015. I would like to do this while we are both healthy and able to enjoy it. Husband just got his Medicare card and will be 66/67 when we do the WC.
