Strong wind and a breaching minke whale

I was a bit pessimistic when I went out this morning. It was a strong wind in the morning and the sea bumpy and conditions to search quite poor. But the sun was shining and the scenery beautiful. We hadn’t been out for long when a minke whale suddenly breached in front of the boat. And did so probably 10 times which was great but then we lost it. We headed towards the mountains where the wind was calmer and found a second minke whale there. By noon the wind was calmer and the rest of the day was fine, with minke whales and dolphins.
