Every time we lost sight of it our Zodiac driver, \u00a0Sue Perrin, would speed up as though we were leaving the area and the whale would come in to investigate us again, at one stage passing so close beneath us that I could have almost reached down and touched it.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2736\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2736\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.tonywhitehead.com\/wildlight\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/GentooParadiseHarbour_D816594-web.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2736\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.tonywhitehead.com\/wildlight\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/GentooParadiseHarbour_D816594-web.jpg?resize=800%2C533&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Porpoising Gentoo Penguin, Paradise Harbour\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.tonywhitehead.com\/wildlight\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/GentooParadiseHarbour_D816594-web.jpg?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.tonywhitehead.com\/wildlight\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/GentooParadiseHarbour_D816594-web.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2736\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Porpoising Gentoo Penguin, Paradise Harbour<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2737\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2737\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.tonywhitehead.com\/wildlight\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/MinkeWhaleParadiseHarbour_D816497-web.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2737 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.tonywhitehead.com\/wildlight\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/MinkeWhaleParadiseHarbour_D816497-web.jpg?resize=800%2C533&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Minke Whale, Paradise Harbour.\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.tonywhitehead.com\/wildlight\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/MinkeWhaleParadiseHarbour_D816497-web.jpg?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.tonywhitehead.com\/wildlight\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/MinkeWhaleParadiseHarbour_D816497-web.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2737\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Inquisitive Minke Whale, Paradise Harbour.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2738\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2738\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.tonywhitehead.com\/wildlight\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/LeopardSealParadiseHarbour_D816316-web.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2738\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.tonywhitehead.com\/wildlight\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/LeopardSealParadiseHarbour_D816316-web.jpg?resize=800%2C533&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Leopard Seal\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.tonywhitehead.com\/wildlight\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/LeopardSealParadiseHarbour_D816316-web.jpg?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.tonywhitehead.com\/wildlight\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/LeopardSealParadiseHarbour_D816316-web.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2738\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Leopard Seal<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>After a while Sue kept muttering on about feeling cold and going to the Drive-thru which didn&#8217;t seem to make much sense until she pulled up next to another Zodiac flying a &#8220;Hot Chocolate&#8221; flag, staffed by hotel chief, Henrik Ahlberg and dispensing hot chocolate fortified with your choice of Peppermint Schnapps, Whisky or Coconut Rum!
