Whale of a trip

We hosted David Gallup – the artist who has been painting scenes throughout the Channel Islands for the past several years.

In addition to being a fine artist and a fineartist, he’s got the best sailor’s eye I’ve ever witnessed. And what he saw this week, before anyone else, were lots of whales. Twenty or so in the course of three days, 20 spouting, feeding and – occasionally – leaping whales. We didn’t get very much on film. Like fishing, there were more fine shots that got away than we were able to capture. And here’s the best of the bunch.
