A lovely morning on Monterey Bay. Today on our 10:00AM whale watch trip we had 1 Fin Whale, 1 Blue Whale, 5 Humpback Whales, and a Black-footed Albatross! We started the trip with a mellow pair of humpbacks who were practicing their synchronized swimming routine as they slowly surfaced together between dives. We also got a few looks at a high speed fin whale who was traveling and an elusive and young blue whale who was wandering the area looking for food. There was a scattering of humpback whales in the same area as the fin whale and blue whale. We were buzzed by a black-footed albatross while we were out on the canyon just as we turned back toward the harbor. We got back just in time for the wind to pick up, perfect timing!
