whale watch at McGregor's point

the purpose of the whale watch for me was to see how many whales i can spot, then at the end of the year compare it to the number of whales i see at McGregor's. So is there more whale at the beginning of the year or at the end of the year? if whaling has gone down id think there would be more whales at the end of the year because at that time all the whales would be done traveling. the observation at McGregor's point was great. i think i saw 4 different pods, but i only recorded 2. it was very hard to see them because they where way of in the water, also the sun reflecting of the water was making it hard to see. all i saw was water spouts, no breaching sadly.
