5-28-22 “Frequent Surface Lunges…Intermittent Breaches, and Tail Throws”

Again, I am speechless. As the immaculate weather window threatens to snap shut (tomorrow) we were once again afforded three full trips of amazing seas, dozens of humpbacks close to the harbor, ravaging shoals of anchovies with frequent surface lunges amongst hundreds of sea lions and intermittent breaches and tail throws. Sporadic fog made an appearence today, though it did little to deter us from casually stumbling around amongst the hoards of humpbacks and their anchovy massacre. By my calculations, our evening trip alone saw the demise of (well over) 1,400,000 anchovies (according to the dietary needs of 25 humpbacks, 1000 gulls, 200 pelicans, and 300 sea lions)
