An Incredible Whale, Dolphin & Sea Lion Encounter !

Today we had one of the best, close up whale encounters this year !

We left the harbor under sunny skies and a perfectly smooth ocean.

We arrived at the navigational bouy and while most of the adult the Sea Lions were sleeping, the babies were intrigued with us and swan right up to the boat.
 

It didn’t take long to located the Grey Whales. They put on quite a show. At one point a mother and calf came whithin 20 feet from the boat!
 
 
 
 

The dolphin were actually playing with the whales as well as with us.

Next we pulled into a scenic little cove and after a quick paddleboard lesson, Jason and Lisa were off to explore the kelp forests.

Sensing Lisa’s sense of adventure, I suggested being towed on the paddleboard behind the boat and she jumped at the chance.
 
 

It was an amazing adventure for them with a close up whale, dolphin, and sea lion encounters and memories that will last a lifetime!
