MIGALOO is on the prowl, according to an expert, whose believes the albino whale is spending his time in the Far North looking for that "special someone".
But he may not have been successful.
Yesterday, he went from Snapper Island, near the Daintree, to Green Island and he is showing no signs of slowing down.
While Port Douglas lapped up his visit on Thursday, Cairns boaties had the joy of spending time with the white wonder yesterday with sightings from both Quicksilver and Reef Magic.
Reef Magic skipper Tim North said his whale watching boat spent about 40 minutes alongside Migaloo.
His passengers enjoyed what they described as a once-in-a-life-time experience.

"We saw a couple of grey whales earlier on in the day, so to see Migaloo was just a bonus," he said.
"He is just so spectacular and we had the best conditions possible – he just glows in the water."

Greg Kaufman, from the Pacific Whale Foundation, based in Hawaii, said it was possible Migaloo was looking for a mate.
"For Migaloo life is like one big game of king of the hill and it's his job to try and impress the ladies," he said.
"If all the other guys are hanging out in Port Douglas he might move on to somewhere where there are more females and less males."
Mr Kaufman said he and his research assistant, Annie Macie, had also spotted a pod of seven whales around Port Douglas with three bleeding males showing evidence of fighting for female attention.
Tourism Port Douglas and Daintree executive officer Doug Ryan said all dive boats were leaving the marina at maximum capacity.
However, from all reports yesterday Migaloo may be saying farewell to the tropical waters, appearing to make a beeline south.
"Our last reports estimated he would be in Fitzroy later this afternoon (Friday) because he is doing a steady 5-6 knots, but we thought that yesterday too and he stayed around."
