Whalewatch Friday

The whales are in close this week; my sister and I just got back from the beach where we saw a good half-dozen, two of them just a few hundred feet out. The ones in close lingered there for a good half an hour and you could see them surface and dive repeatedly; we're pretty sure the pair in close was a mother and calf since one was much smaller than the other, and they were never more than a few feet apart. Probably the most we've seen at one time, though there are usually a handful lingering in the channel outside. Pretty cool.
