Whale Watching With A Friend: A Bunch of Orca and A Lonely Adolescent Grey Whale




Alissa and her good friend Ali went whale watching a few weeks back. A friend of a friend of a friend worked for Five Star Whale Watching so they got the family and friends (very distant friends) discount.
Alissa and Ali had a wonderful experience that foggy morning. They saw many killer whales and even a lonely teenage grey whale that was hiding behind the rocky coastline. The naturalists on board said that he is likely feeding and gaining energy for his migration out at sea where he will find his first mate. Who would have thought the odours emitted from the grey whales blow hole could be so revolting.
They enjoyed the sounds of these giant mammals taking in deep breaths, the mist from their blowholes dampening their on looking faces. Very cool.
Check out some of the pictures they saw that morning here.
