August 28. 2010: beauty day on the water with all that sunshine... the gray whale is still hanging around Discovery Island, which is always nice for us; Jpod was slowly moving north this morning, fairly spread out with the occasional breach and a few tail slaps... plenty of seals bobbing around, probably enjoying the calm waters and a bald eagle to finish the trip!
August 23. 2010: It was a wonderful day to be on the water today. Sun, calm seas and whales! The gray whale was seen on all three trips, frolicking in kelp beds; we also saw members of Lpod on the afternoon and evening trip. A california sea lion was sunning on a can and many seals were hanging out at Trial Island!
August 21. 2010: Well, it seems the orcas are taking a break but the humpback whales are keeping us entertained. Yesterday and today, we've had three different humpbacks. Today's humpbacks were all about cartwheels, breaches and spyhops; it was amazing to watch such giants leaping out of the water. We also came across the gray whale this afternoon, swimming in a kelp bed!
