There she blows!

The Captain (as his friends like to call him) felt right at home aboard our whale watching vessel. Today is his 30th birthday you know! Happy Birthday Case.

I will say one thing there is no shortage of humpback whales here, even though they are an endangered species. I can see some spouting their blow holes as I type. They are everywhere. And quite amazing. 45 feet long and 45 tons large! Really spectacular that they can get their entire huge bodies all the way up in the air.

The purpose of our whale watching exersion: I was hopeful that one would breach right in front of our boat so I could get up close to the action. No such luck. They were closer but all we got were some tails. Still very cool.
