Going whale watching
 

Blue whale season. They were always my favorite as a kid. Hope we find one.

What are the odds of finding one?

BTW, I've always wanted to do that.

Stop by Sebastian Sand's place, he has a bunch of them there.

Looks pretty good.

There is one right here on GFY. His handle is Headless.

how far offshore ya gotta go to see one of them thare whales?

Nice one baddog . Bring back some pics

Thought it was gonna be a joke about heading out to the mall or something.

Sounds really fun, good luck on snapping some pics!

Well, no whales. Hit a pod of feeding dolphins. Will put up some pics later. Gotta go for a bike ride.

Sorry you didn't see the whales. I always planned to go watch the killer whales when I was in BC but never made it to the coast at the right time. :P

I kept missing the salmon run too.

From Hervey Bay, about 300 miles north of where I live.

There's some places in Dana Point here even Newport who guarantee whale sightings. I doubt blue whale though.... those would be quite the sight. I've never seen one, just a LOT of killer whales in the straight of Georgia growing up.

Oh, I thought you were visiting Indiana...

We will probably go again next season. Thinking of chartering the boat and making it a webmaster adventure.

Yeah, that is a little further than I wanted to go for a day trip.

I was, for a week, then I came home for 11 hours, then headed to Vegas for a few days, and now I am home again. I think I get 2 1/2 weeks here before I start over again.

A couple of pics.

First is the tips of dolphin fins, with me catching one in the second pics.
