Pacific Whale Foundation's vessel Ocean Voyager reported a sighting of a humpback whale at exactly 9 am on Monday, October 15, 2012 about 4 miles outside Ma'alaea Harbor. It is believed to be the first reported sighting of a humpback whale off Maui this season.
Ocean Voyager was enroute to Molokini when the naturalists and captain saw a single whale. They observed the whale blow twice. The whale then did a fluke-up dive.
