Both trips on Saturday included humpback whales. In the morning, we spent time with Valley and Tripod, followed by Fan's 2015 calf and Clamp.

In the afternoon, Valley and Tripod were still together, this time napping. Clamp was also still in the area. We even had a new visitor for the season, Diablo!

On Sunday morning we started the day with stunning looks at a fin whale. This whale was slowly swimming nearby allowing us to watch how gracefully it slipped through the seas. Just gorgeous.

We also checked out a second fin whale, saw two ocean sunfish, and the humpback whale Fan's 2015 calf.

This afternoon, whales from this morning disappeared. We made our way to a different area and found at least seven humpback whales. Most were darting past each other, and us. A few were making bubble clouds.
We identified Clamp, Diablo, Dyad, Valley, Tripod, and Ravine. As the days, and even hours(!) continue, the whales are moving about - each trip providing plenty of moments with the incredible wildlife offshore.
