Whale in Houghton Bay!

I can’t believe we missed seeing this whale in Houghton Bay on Sunday!

We had friends round in the ‘avo and they said the traffic was crazy along the South Coast. We presumed there must be dolphins close to shore. If only we’d taken a stroll down to the bay! At times, the whale was only 20 metres from the shore!
