3/5/23 “High Seas, High Adventure, & High Spirits”

a small boat in a body of water

High seas, high adventure, and high spirits joined together today as Captain Danny led us out in search of creatures large and strange. Rather than our nornal.fare of gray whales, a humpback whale made an appearence, which we watched for some time, until being interupted by a cow-calf pair of Minke Whales! In my 11 year career, I had never seen a baby Minke. So all things considered, it was a great day.
