With tourism slowing down again, weekday crowds run slim. Today we ran with a single trip at quarter capacity, which is actually a pleasant experience for all. Lighter loads mean more personal time with passengers (and more hot chocolate to go around). With good weather, we had little trouble finding a total of 6 southbound grey whales, returning to Baja California for their breeding season. After sufficient looks, we shot out further west to encounter several groups of humpback whales (an otherwise rare sighting for winter season). Just as we were about to head home, 6 Killer Whales appeared off the starboard bow! Exctatic, we watched them well into overtime until they turned and passed barely 5 yards of the starboard side, making for a grande finale and a perfect time to head home. Even 30 minutes into overtime, half the passengers begged us to stay out even longer! Overall, a fantastic day, and we are always excited to see what the next trip holds.
