So this morning we headed down to the harbor and boarded a boat for a true 3 hour tour. It is the last few weeks of the whale migration and we thought spending the morning on the water would be a fun family day. We joined our good friends Donna, Neil, and Autumn for our day.
When we first arrived on board Autumn and Ava were excited to see each other and were holding hands running around the deck of the boat. However as we started to head out of the bay and into the ocean the waters began to get pretty choppy, and both girls started looking a little pale. was worried, but tried to stay positive. We saw some dolphins that were following the boat as we headed out. I Then we hit a storm and the winds picked up, the swells got much bigger, and it began to rain! We took cover in one of two covered cabanas on the top deck, since being on top is suppose to be less likely to make you sick. Ava started to doze off hugging her Daddy, and a few moments later the trip took a turn for the worse. Ava got sea sick... all over Michael! I grabbed a seasick bag, and caught the tail end of it, but it was really too late. Michael was such a good sport and gets the prize for the day. He had fortunately dressed in layers, and after we used a full container of wipes and removed Ava's sweatshirt and Michael's top layer he let her lay back down ON him wrapping his coat around the front of her. Truly showing what a great Dad he is, and how much he loves his little girl.
Just when she fell back asleep we of course find, what the tour guides said was the largest group of animals they had ever seen, about 6 whales and hundreds, and hundreds of dolphins! Michael stayed put, and never got to see any of them.. I went to the rail and took some photos (which Ava LOVED when we showed them to her later).
It was a rough day. But Michael earned his official Dad badge today.
