Wednesday brought a bit of a challenge as we set out in search of whales. The wind was blowing in from the east, making for a damp and breezy ride—not everyone appreciated the salty spray! After some time, we spotted a pair of humpback whales. They were taking short, shallow dives and staying relatively close, though they were a little shy about showing us their flukes. Still, we were able to identify them as Dross and Ravine.
Fun fact: Both Dross and Ravine had calves last year, and those now-independent yearlings were spotted earlier this season!
As we waited for the pair to resurface, an ocean sunfish made a brief appearance behind the boat before vanishing back into the depths. Thankfully, our ride home was much calmer.
