Does that excite anyone else besides me? I think that it should, if it hasn't already. The humpback whales are making their way back to the islands of Hawaii, and they have been spotted off the shores of Maui and the Big Island. The captain of a fishing boat claims that he saw two different groups of whales on his way to and from Maui on a fishing trip.
The beautiful Humpback whales may cause a bit of a stir though. There have been several workshops offered to sailors in Hawaii about how to man a ship when there are whales in the ocean. Not only is the state trying to prevent harm to the whales, but they are trying to prevent the whales from unintentionally harming the boats themselves.
Humpback whales are huge, ranging from thirty to fifty feet in length, sometimes longer. They are not small like Orca's, and therefore they pose a larger threat to boats at sea if they do not know how to sail.
I always get excited when I get the chance to see whales. Not everyone in their lifetime can say that they got to see migrating whales. It is a beautiful thing, but it is also something that people need to approach with care. Knowing how to operate a boat so as to not harm themselves or the whales is very important. So make sure, if you are going to be driving a boat anytime soon, you know what you are doing.
