Far fewer humpbacks in Vava'u waters today. Our only encounters were a few swims with a pair of males waiting in the outer islands for the next heat run. The highlight of day was the rare opportunity to swim with a sailfish feeding at the surface. ( Richelle's YouTube Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NIb5m8ghWro )
A small pod of passing pilot whales who surrounded us with the sounds of loud sonar clicks was an unexpected bonus late in the day. Of note, the water was significantly colder than we had anticipated -- future visitors should at least bring a shortie wetsuit.
