First a tumbling of the waves

then a shot of spray

while the bulk of gray

rises as we watch safely

from two hundred metres away.

Hubby took pity on my whale-less sighting attempts (which were quite pathetic, truly) and booked us a whale watching trip.  I saw four clearly.  3 were feeding in a shallow area we couldn’t get too close to, then a 4th was in a really good spot for excellent viewing.  We went out and saw a couple of others, but they weren’t as impressive as gray whale 383.  I tried to video him, so I may post that if it worked.  (Don’t get your hopes up.  I tend to think I’m filming when I’m not, and visa versa).
