Humpback whales in Antigua

24th January 2010, 3 miles west of Palmetto point Barbuda. A pair of Humpbacks, possibly juveniles? playing around. We spotted them breaching on the horizon and zoomed over for a look. We shut off engines and coasted into their vicinity. After a while they approached us and began circling the boat. 4 of us jumped in for a closer look as they circled. They were really curious but did not get close to any of us in the water. Really muscular and athletic, an awesome experience. Thanks to Eli and Adventure Antigua for this adventure.
