I bet you wish you had the more interesting various shades of brown birds we have rather than having to cope with all of those colours 😂

Long time no see/ speak.
I fear to tread on the ground that is filter rights an wrongs, however, whilst I have not had much on the water photo experience what I have learned is that if you are close enough to the water while whale watching (or anything else) then I would use a UV filter (as mentioned above) as the salt water deposits on your lens can cause scratching when being cleaned.
Also, if you are in with a shout of even light spray it may be best to buy a camera lens cover as salt water leaves deposits that are worse than sand for cleaning off your kit.
I went on one of the dolphin spotting boats out of New Quay, Ceredigion and my UV filter needed to be washed afterwards, a bit of a pain but better than having to clean the front element if the lens.
My camera body also showed signs of salt water and I thought I had kept it reasonably well shielded.
A few quid plastic cover may be useful to you 😀
Have a great time in Oz Howard.
Regards
Stu
