We woke up to a calm bay surrounded by breathtaking beauty, perfect for capturing stunning water reflection photos. As we left Frosty Bay, we witnessed a little bird catch a fish almost its size, a delightful start to our day. As we departed the bay, the morning’s calmness faded. Despite the weather forecast predicting calm seas and five knots of wind, we soon found ourselves in rain, three-foot seas and 15-20 knots of wind from the south.
Fortunately, as we neared Myers Chuck the sun came out, the sea calmed, and we were treated to the incredible sight of humpback whales bubble feeding. Bubble feeding is a fascinating technique where whales create a circle of bubbles to trap fish, then swim upward with their mouths open to catch their prey. This remarkable display of nature’s ingenuity was a welcome distraction from the rough seas.
Arriving at Myers Chuck we found the dock almost full but managed to get the last spot. After docking Paradigm Lost, we went for a walk in the forest, which always renews us. The short, refreshing walk is not only rejuvenating but also fun, as you never know what interesting objects the local residents might have on display.
