Second straight day for wife and I and seven whale watch virgins. Yesterday the whales were shy. Just out of reach. Today was unbelievable. We were
mobbed. Spent 90+ minutes floating along never a moment without whales. We were approached by 5 different pairs. We had fun naming them. At one point
for 20+ minutes we had two pairs with calfs and mothers taking turns on each side. Witnessed calf repeatedly bringing up mouthful of sand, spyhopping,
breaching and coming in for rubs on the chin. Census is 80+ mother/calf pairs & 17 'singles'. Things were very mellow. Our firends and family were
blown away. Us too. This was our 7th time we have been out to commune with whales. Some of the calves were as a big as we had ever seen. They look
ready for a looong trip north. if you have never been you need to. If you have you know the feeling. Went to Tootsies for c-cktail heading back for
dinner.
