Episode 51 - Winter Adventures

We had some some incredible winter adventures during our short offseason and although not all of them were with whales they are worth sharing on this episode of After the Breach podcast. We have some cool videos to share on this episode, so check out the show notes on our website to view them. 

Sara was in Bremer Bay, Australia for her fourth year in a row to spend time with the Bremer Canyon killer whales. We have discussed this unique population of killer whales in depth on episodes 21, 22, 23, and 38. This year Sara captured an incredible encounter with a Bremer killer whale, "Blade," that she captured on video, which you can view in the show notes. She also talks about her encounter with 100+ sperm whales!

While Sara was in Australia, Jeff was on a Hawaiian adventure where he encountered a humpback whale that has been documented feeding in the waters off Kamtsjatka, Russia. He also talks about his night snorkel with manta rays and being on Kilauea to witness a massive lava fountaining event. You can check out videos from these adventures on our website as well, in the show notes.
