July 27, 2016 – Sailed to False Bay where members of J pod group B were foraging close to shore while group A was coming down from the north a little offshore. J27 Blackberry breached multiple times leading a track to Salmon Bank. Granny was in the mix of the group B whales. Between the two groups was a pair of humpback whales. We sailed together to Salmon Bank and then all whales headed to Hein Bank and continued west into the sunset.
