...out with Spencer of Legacy Charters...he was taking his passengers to the west...just in case there might be some whales about...
...we visited Race Rocks and then decided to head south a bit - it was about two minutes when Spencer spotted whales in the distance!...there was a group not too far away and they were coming in our direction...moving at a good pace, heading west...
...I thought it was one group...but then later when I looked at my pictures I realized I didn't have a clue who I was looking at...Oh, goodie, more 'new to me' transients!...or at least I think so...
...it took a long time just to figure out how many were in this group...
...#1
...#2
...#3
...#5
...I can't figure out who they are...so I've sent them off to Dave at the Center for Whale Research......at the same time we had first spotted the above whales, we also saw, what appeared to be 4 others about two miles to the east, heading west, just like the 5 whales above...
...we kept our eyes on them as best we could, but the 5 whales were moving at a good clip and we stayed with them...
...we never did find those others, so won't know who it was, except that Spencer had seen a big male...
...we left the group of 5 a mile or more west of Race Rocks and began heading back east...we had swung south just in case we might spot those other four but no luck...
...that is until I saw whales - yes! more whales! - they were south of us, by maybe a 1/2 mile...they were heading inbound and they were moving slowly...
...thinking they might be the four we had spotted earlier...but, just like the other group, there was no big male...hum...
...that's part 2...which will be tomorrow...
It's was an awesome day!
