KIT, MANY Dolphin and spider in salads, Matt and Keith Goddard, the couple I'm starting to forget where we were, and what country happens to us or that event. We have long been traveling, and my mind was struggling to cope with the memories, impressions of the new travel and anticipation of future travel, which I'm starting to plan - the North Island of New Zealand and South America. I begin to understand how important for us to travel notes, because some stages of our journeys are beginning to be forgotten, like Asia, for example. And here is the sperm whale trip from the town of Hanmer Springs in the town of Kaikoura was simply magnificent: mountain landscapes, valleys and lush vegetation. Two weeks ago, we would stop every 10 minutes to do a couple of pictures, but now, despite the fact that we were going for "a beautiful way, not on some highway, we just wanted to get to your destination. My knees began to shake involuntarily, when we were driving in a car on a rocky mountain road, I suddenly realized that there, at the edges of the canvas, had opened an abyss. The machine is constantly trying to accelerate (as usual), but retain a high rate it did not, because there were too many turns, in addition, an automatic transmission is not entirely successful transfer switch, which is very frustrating for me as a driver. Sperm whale popped Reaching Kiakoury, we went straight to the office of the agency that arranges cruises, during which you can watch the whales. We explained that nothing had ordered, but a nice woman sitting behind a desk in the office, said that, we can get on the next boat, and that weather conditions were just perfect. I especially liked the way graduation excitement of the sea, we were told that today can only be "slight nausea, but it is 2 points below normal. Excellent! After a short video briefing on safety and a short bus ride, we boarded a catamaran. We were told that the ship will proceed at a speed of 30 knots - fast! Despite the comforting prediction about the calm sea, the team warned passengers that it is very possible pitching, this time in the pockets of the seats are hygienic packages. Well. We have prepared a motion sickness pills, even taken one by one, though I personally doubt that it helped. I still constantly nauseated. Keith and the boat for 10 minutes at high speed, we set out to sea and left the continental shelf. Now the depth of the ocean beneath us reached 1000 meters and more (this is me, not at all reassured when I looked at the waves). Now we had to wait only when sperm whale emerges. We were told that whales typically dive for 30-40 minutes, although the longest dive took 2 hours 17 minutes. Our whale dived 15 minutes ago, so we had to wait a little longer. While we waited, nothing happened (although we managed to see a blue shark that swam past), and everyone was eager to quickly look at the whale. Finally, later, it seemed an eternity, someone yelled something about a whale that appears, and all at once rushed to him. Sperm whales appear particularly impressive not know how they just float to the surface like giant logs, so we're not very upset when they realized that the whale appeared on the other side of the boat. We fled to the upper deck, where whales could be seen best. This kit sails to Kaikoura in 1994. What consistency! It was a male reaches a length of 18 meters (females here can be seen far less often because they prefer to stay in warmer waters closer to home and family). 18 m, like, not so much, but then I compared it and swam with him a boat. Only then I realized how great he was! Sperm whale exhaled through the blowhole, which is why it has appeared over the water fountain. We were lucky, we were so that they saw a rainbow, which played in the droplets of water in his moist breath. " Wow! Rainbow difficult to catch on camera, but I managed to take a picture with some semblance of color rainbow. After 15 minutes of being on the surface, off in front of cameras and breath, the whale was ready to dive again, and how to have a meal of fish and squid. His head and body out of sight, and then appeared above the surface of the tail, but only to a moment, too, disappear under water. (But he can go!) Read more:
