The Humpback whale is one of the most energetic of the whales. It is known for its spectacular breaching and flipper slapping during breeding season. Humpbacks are highly inquisitive and will approach quite closely, showing little fear of boats. But this sailor has a lot of fear of them.
The humpback whales weigh between 66,000 lb and 106,000 lb. They are between 46' and 59’ long. These pictures are by my son-in-law Kevin. My digital camera has too much lag time. A larger one breached about 40 feet away just before these pictures were taken.
