As the morning progressed fog rolled in. It started in the hills of the island and then it&#8217;s started rolling in across the sea. At times you could not see across the bay, then it would clear again.<br \/>\nOne time as it cleared we saw two whales breaching in the distance. As we watched they came closer. They stopped breaching and one lay still in the water and drifted closer. Andrew put the drone in the air to get a closer look. It was a mother and her newly born calf. The whale was teaching it&#8217;s baby to swim as they came within a few hundred metres  of Imagine. The other adult whale followed behind some distance away. It took about half an hour for the whales to come past and swim off in the distance.<br \/>\nAnother BBQ at the A frame and it was Safia and Bram&#8217;s turn to cook.
