10/1 - 9:30am trip: It was a calm, bright morning on the . We didn’t have to go far before seeing blows in every direction. There were probably about 30-40 in a couple mile radius all around us. The were also being very surface active and we were treated to an endless show of breaching, flipper slapping, chin slaps, and tail lobbing. We would be watching a pair of periodically breach and then a few hundred yards behind them a different would breach. We spent lots of time with the whales before venturing a little ways into the bay to see a large pod of common . It was already a top trip for the year at this point when we headed back to spend a little more time with the humpbacks before calling it a day. In some of our last interactions we got a huge breach literally right next to our boat (in neutral). My camera was already zoomed in to catch a breach, little did I know I needn’t have zoomed at all.
It was a magical day to say the least!

10/2 - 9:30am trip: We had a lovely time out on the water today. The weather was fair and the swells were relatively calm. A very large number of humpbacks were hanging out and likely feeding at depth within a couple miles of the harbor mouth. We followed a large pod of common dolphins for a while, and ended up at a breaching whale. Our trip ended with a friendly group of whales hanging out near the boat before we headed back in.
