    Sent my hubby off to africa off-shore with my camera to get pics of whales, they havnt arrived back there for breeding yet but he did get these pics on the rig. lets hope his next trip the whales have returned back from Austalia, as they do this trip and it takes the whales 9 month round trip to Australia and back to Africa were is rig is based out of Malabo.He did see dolphins but they were too quick for him, ha ha
