7/16/22 “Holy Flying Humpbacks!”

Holy flying humpbacks! Today was a grand slam, three trip day of high flying humpback whales, with one “little” baby whale at the center of it all. Three trips in a row, and we found the same pair of humpbacks: a cow and  her calf. Three trips in a row, and that calf put on a fantastic display of acrobatic prowess. Interspersed with cool science facts and basic ecology, our passengers all walked away not only inspired, but with a deeper appreciation and an understanding of this amazing bay we call home.
