There was a sighting of Humpbacks in South Kona this morning...
There are quite a few "point-lines" around the east side, some of the better lines to look are Hilo bay - draw a line from the point at Pepe'ekeo Point (near where the old sugar mill was) to Richardsons/Leieiwi Point. (We were kayaking off of Richardsons last year, looking towards the coast, when there was a loud splash behind us, turned in time to see a large fluke ~100 yards away - and some of the Scuba Sunday Punawebbers have seen a humpback swimming along the rocks at Richardsons' in the winter months...)
HPP draw a line from Kaloli Point to the conservation land off of Maku'u.
Often times there will be whales along these sounding points... It is really fun once the babies start practicing their breaching & such... some are out of the water more than in at times...
