As Scotty said, after beaming the pair of Humpback Whales into the cargo hold of the Klingon Bird of Prey in “Star Trek IV, The Voyage Home”.

I know, three parts, and extensive photos in Part II for one day, but it was our most active day of the whole time in Hawaii, so we had a lot to show 🙂

Near the end of our dinner on the cruise, the captain spotted a pair of Humpback Whales, possibly with a calf, playing shortly ahead of us.  Unfortunately, the Kodak digital camera had a hard time focusing when taking pictures, as there was no horizon to focus on.  By the time I got the Nikon DSLR, the whales were making their last blow and headed back to the depths for 15-45 minutes….  But, we still got some good shots, even if a bit fuzzy:
