Simply Amazing

I meant to post last Friday but I missed it because I was at a funeral. Quite frankly, I had no idea what I wanted to write about anyway.  Then on Saturday I took my daughter whale watching out of Santa Barbara and we experienced something simply amazing.

This mother humpback whale was apparently teaching her baby to breach.  We experienced this less than 150 feet from our boat.  The baby then followed suit moments later:

The whales came so close to our boat that, at one point, the mist from their spouts wet my face. In a weekend of sadness having lost a close relative, I was renewed by the power and grace of nature.

  3. I think that was right out front. Yeah, it made a solid set of two foot peelers. Dubs rode one all the way Kiddies and Allsy’s drizzle castle got wasted.
