7-28-22 “Happy People & a Fun Time”

After several immaculate days of calm seas, things boiled a bit on the water, as a rising breeze sent a lump through the bay: calm at first, though enough to cancel our 5pm tour (and making for a rocky afternoon. Otherwise, our passengers handled it well enough that I was very impressed with their fortitude and enthusiasm. Whales? Of course! Some ten humpbacks here and there along the Monterey Submarine Canyon, and even a Minke whale was sighted briefly on the morning tour. Nothing out of the ordinary, but nothing bad! Happy people and a fun time for the crew. Gotta love your job!
