12 exfurse Aug 8 to 16 350 sun & just right Humpbacks July 5 - 08 Flukes usually drawn out of water when diving but many times first many of the whales I saw had the flukes white below - other black abo- & below - Several times I saw two whales apparently standing on their beaks throwing their flukes from side to side & lashing the water into foam - this was done several times. These whales were blowing continued & not staying under water very long when diving - The spouts were usually about 10 or 11 feet high & the first time of the whales re- appearance at the surface, was the largest & highest - Several times I saw a whale spout close to the vessel, & saw that the blowhole was distended greatly during the operation. (see photo) & the blowing was accom- pained by a loud "huh" - The whales by this action seemed to be in pain to a certain extent
