Whale Watching We found whales again! Mom and calf humpbacks. A gorgeous day on the water was made even better by finding 3 humpbacks and spending time with 2 of the 3, a mom/calf pair. While we had to go further on this trip we were rewarded with a beautiful pair of humpbacks, synchronized swimming and diving and many tail throws to the calf. These were only surpassed by their close approach to the Viking Star on several occasions. Beautiful to watch. Even though there was another humpback near us we didn’t have time to spend with it. Next Week? Totals: 3 Humpbacks 5 Cory’s Shearwaters 10 Wilsons Storm Petrels
