Mood: happy
I am still giddy from this morning's cruise! What a wonderful day out on the Pacific! Still a bit chilly, but the water was calm; smooth like ice.
It didn't take long for us to find our "1st" whale(s) - 10:15am! Amazing! All in all- we sighted about 14 whales during the 3 1/2 hour cruise.
Besides the great viewing of the whales fluking with the coastline behind them (as well as the Coronado Islands), we came upon a pair of whales with some Pacific White Sided dolphins swimming alongside the whales. Captain Bill told the passengers that this is a sign that some "whale lovin' might be going on". Sure enough.... we saw mating behaviour!
The Gray Whales are magnificant ... and I enjoyed sharing that with the passengers today: all the cute kids, a group visiting from Germany, and my new friend- Theresa - with her husband and son. We had a fun group of passengers today. Made the trip that much better!
